Hi there, this is my first post to this list. I am new here so forgive me if this question has already been answered.
When i do a cat on /proc/meminfo I find the memory slowly leaking away. This happens on newer kernels with some atm patches.
Another thing that happens is that when i start x and then quit it there is a descrepancy of abt 3 megs between the pre X start up and post X sutdown free mem. When I start X several times it doesnt gobble up more memory.
If i keep my system booted up for several hours I show 31 out of my 32 megs beeing used up. But I have no problems doing stuff like starting X , xemacs etc.
Has this been observed by other people?? If so what is the reason and is there any remedy for it... balaji PS: the kernel version is linux 1.3.62 balaji ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balaji Srinivasan Voice: (913)-864-7756(W) email: balaji@tisl.ukans.edu (913)-841-3555(H) WWW : http://www.eecs.ukans.edu/~balaji
