Subject: Where is my memory

Hallo,

on two systems with 2.4.2. (actually the suse tree from Hubert mantel at
ftp://ftp.suse.com/people/mantel/next) on a single/dual celeron machine
with 256/384 MByte Memory all show increased memory consumption after the
daily locatedb run.

Here is the output in that situation after a shutdown to single user mode
("init S"):

(cat /proc/meminfo)

total: used: free: shared: buffers: cached:
Mem: 261672960 217587712 44085248 0 7565312 87621632

Any idea what's going on here?

Thanks

Hi,

This is interesting.

I have found out that my freezes most oftenly happen on cold boot.
At cold boot the locatedb is run...

I have added IKD...
