Re: mindi/mondo virtual memory

Hi Bruno,

I'm still trying to figure out why something is holding on to virtual memory after the job finishes.  As I noted in a previous post - if I stop mono archive from running virtual memory does not increase that day but when mondo archive starts again virtual memory bumps up another notch again. 

I'm wondering could it possibly be mindi? Doesn't mindi use a ram disk to build the boot image? I've looked at mindi's log (attached) but I really don't see anything about memory allocation/deallocation.

Another odd thing is I have 8 Linux servers basically identical to each other that I run mondo archive on but only two production servers are showing this virtual memory issue. 

Thanks
Michael White

Well, I try to understand which process can be eating memory. That command could help.

How long is mondoarchive running for you ? 
Of course, when it's running, it's consuming more memory, even if I try to do my best to avoid unnecessary consumption.
But when the command ends, memory should come back again. Is that the case ?

Bruno.
