 Shuttle Server : Memory Leak on Red Hat / Fedora Dear all: I got very strange problem on our Shuttle PC, on memory leak. Our Shuttle PC model is XPC SS59G, with 2GB Ram. When I try to install Red Hat 9 / Fedora 4 / Fedora 5, installation is fine. The OS can realize the 2G memory. But when i try to run any command ( not very complex, just simple as "find" , "ls" ) , the OS will use the memory to proceed . But unfortunlately, even the command is finished, OS nearly doesn't release the used memory. Therefore, after i run several commands, the free memory will be used up and try to use swap. The seriously thing is the server will die very soon as the swap will also use up. Then i suspect it is the hardware problem ( i guess it is memory problem ) so i do the experiment again. I install WinXP and run "burn computer" program. This time, the PC run very normal, without "eat memory" issue. Does anyone face this issue ? Any solution i can do to fix it ? Will this issue can be fixed by "tuning the linux kernel" ? Alex Leung      |

Have a read up here on Linux memory management: http://gentoo-wiki.com/FAQ_Linux_Memory_Management If this isn't what you're experiencing then come back and give details of memory usage with 'free' and 'ps aux --sort=rss'. |
