Thanks Rick, doesn't look like I have those available but I'll look into them.

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. Suggestion from left field: try running mondoarchive under memusage: memusage mondoarchive <all your wonderful options> or perhaps using operf/opreport instead of memusage. It might even be better to run operf in system-wide mode to catch everything going on. See "man operf" for details. memusage is part of the glibc-utils RPM on Fedora/CentOS/Red Hat. operf/opreport is part of the oprofile RPM on Fedora/CentOS/Red Hat. Can't speak about other distros, but they're probably similarly named. > -----Original Message----- > From: Bruno Cornec [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Tuesday, June 06, 2017 11:56 AM > To: Mondo mailing list <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [Mondo-devel] mindi/mondo virtual memory > > Michael White said on Tue, Jun 06, 2017 at 04:50:51PM +0000: >> I'm not following you on what to look for with the command "ps auxww". > > Well, I try to understand which process can be eating memory.
