| skywalker | hello ppl need help here I have 8GB of memory and free -m shows that i have only 16Mb of free memory and around 5GB of memory has apparently been cached many of my applications are abnormally quitting because of lack of memory How can i fix this? anyone here? anyone? |
| euclid | skywalker: the OS should give back the cached memory when an app needs it. how do you know that is why they are crashing? and if they are, it's really the app's fault, not the OS |
| anel | its the old kernels fault |
| skywalker | well i hope that is true, No swap being utilized, When the application quits, it gives me an error saying that "No memory left to allocate" and Mysql says "got error 12 from engine" -> which is apparently because of lack of memory |
| anel | I always upgrade my kernel to the 2.7.x series |
| skywalker | anything better in the 2.7.x series? |
| anel | sounds like a configuration error app says "allocate X MB" you are reading X as bytes (or K) |
| euclid | yes, I would contact the app vendor as to why it's doing that. As far as I know, there's no way (or reason) to prevent the OS from caching disk in RAM. |
| anel | use strace on the app in question, see what it is asking alloc for in terms of memory |
| skywalker | Will do |
| anel | skywalker: use the force here.... there really is NO 2.7.x kernel |
| skywalker | rofl :)) |
| euclid | especially if you have swap free, there's something going on with the app |
| skywalker | exactly |
| anel | stace +r |
| skywalker | i have around 16GB of swap and only around 120 Kb or it is being used! |
| anel | euclid: did evil one release c5beta? |
| euclid | it has not been released yet, no |
| action | anel slaps Evolution around like the school girl he is |
| anel | slaps Evolution around like the school girl he is |
| action | euclid goes home |
| euclid | goes home |
| skywalker | is it strace or stace? |
| anel | strace but euclid y2DST isn't even upon us yet |
| rado1 | that memory bit...couple things come to mind... if you have something redundant going on I doublt it but possibly bad mem chip |
