Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-linux-mm@kvack.org Return-Path: To: linux-mm@kvack.org List-ID: Hi guy, I am running 7.2RedHat kernel 2.4.9-31 from respect on Dell 4400 PowerEdge Server. Dual CPU 990MHz. The machine was a lemon from the start. We paid for it 16000$, to find out that one controller and two SCSI disk were broken out of the box. Then it kept crushing a couple time a months with clear logs. Dell replaced mum and both CPUs. Still going down. Refused to replace RAM ( 4Gb) Asked me to test memory buy swapping chips around despite all my explanations that this is a production server. I even wrote a little add for Dell. Buy DELL and you in Hell 10 Days ago I installed DNS and DHCP servers from RedHat and noticed that "top" shows that the amount of consumed memory is slowly and constantly growing. Machine become unstable and a few users complained that their files disappeared. ( we have good backup ). I re-booted 4 days ago and now it looks it is doing it again. Could you please advice how can I detect memory leaks. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you in advance, Ivan. -- ================================================================================ Ivan Teliatnikov, F05 David Edgeworth Building, Department of Geology and Geophysics, School of Geosciences, University of Sydney, 2006 Australia e-mail: ivan@es.usyd.edu.au ph: 061-2-9351-2031 (w) fax: 061-2-9351-0184 (w) =============================================================================== -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
