Hey,
i`ve had this problem for a while (since FC5 if `im right) and slowly all my memory gets used up.
i did the top command but that doesn`t show anything unusual besides that all my memory is used.
i`m using Gnome.
this is the top of top:
top - 23:00:23 up 3:37, 3 users, load average: 0.17, 0.11, 0.08
Tasks: 118 total, 1 running, 116 sleeping, 1 stopped, 0 zombie
Cpu(s): 50.0%us, 50.0%sy, 0.0%ni, 0.0%id
, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st
Mem: 2038076k total, 1939184k used, 98892k free, 430052k buffers
Swap: 2031608k total, 0k used, 2031608k free, 941860k cached
The swap file isn`t being used.. but still the memory is filled up. in this case i still have 98MB left but i`ve seen less.
is this a bug?
or is this the memory management of linux?
Thanx
Mark.
