Hi, I have memory problems in my system.

With glance note the memory free use up in my system.

I assume the memory is use up depend on process, aplication, etc.

The problems is the memory free is not renew.

Ej.

1)Memory free 1024
2)execute procces, memory free 512
3)process finish
4)Memory free 512

Why no memory free 1024 if no process is execute?

If your application is not releasing memory after it has finished running, get the developers to fix it. you might be able to buy yourself sometime by using swap (and enabling it in the kernel) and also try using iprm after you use ipcs -a to view what processes are holding what!

Hi,

Could it be that the memory has been used up by the dynamic buffer cache? This is normal behaviour and the default for the buffer cache maximum size is 50% of your RAM.

What does glance say the memory is being used by ('t' and 'm' screens)?
