The system is working fine but it should be not very loaded anyway, so a mem leakage will not show up early. Just checked, that scsi_cmd_cache on other machines of mine is under 100, so it seems like a problem. Unfortunately, while being a programmer, I'm totally unaware what /proc/slabinfo means, but I'm perfectly willing to provide a shell (in case of Andrew or other famous developer it may be even root) on this machine. I'm attaching the /proc/slabinfo Thanks for help, Anton
