[cobalt-developers] Slocate Memory Leaks?

["Jason D. Piercy" <jason.piercy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Farthur to my previous message below, I have found the following:

The server seems to spiral down in free memory. if I run an updatedb
(updated the slocate database) as per what is in the
/etc/cron.daily/slocate.cron. it frees up almost 295MB of memory.

But as the system contiues to run in losses about 40 - 60Mb per hour. Is
this normal?

Once the system runs out of memory it reboots.

I am wondering if this is related to the slocate Update 1.0.2. Could someone
from Cobalt comment on this?

Again the server is a vanilla out of the box 4r with all the lastest and
greatest Security and System Updates installed.

In the meanwhile I plan to add an entry in the crontab to update the db
every hour or so. Is there any preformance issues around doing this except
for the cpu/memory load require while running the update?

Subject: [cobalt-developers] Server Load / Memory



I have a RAQ4R that has all the current Security/System updates on it. I has
however rebooted 4 times in the last week, after going into the logs I have
no indication as to why.

Friday evening I swaped out the memory hoping that this could be the cause -
but yet again this morning it has rebooted.

When I run top my stats are as follows:

load: 0.30, 0.29 0.39
154 proceses, 153 sleepng, 1 running (top)
cpu: 3.4 % user, 5.7% system, 0% nice, 90.9% idle
memory: 517368K av, 513953K used, 13096K free, 680.900 shrd, 28156K buff
swap: 131448K av, 0K used, 131448K free,				387740K cached

The couple of questions I have is:

A) has anyone experienced random rebooting? and solved the problem?

b) why and where is the memory going - i.e. 90-95% of memory used when
system is idle?


Any help on this front would be appreciated.
