Hi, |
2 |
|
3 |
since a few days my system eats up memory, uses SWAP space and gets |
4 |
slow. |
5 |
It might depend on xorg-server, but I don't know why. |
6 |
|
7 |
On a nearly idle system (except xorg-server and some XTerms) I have |
8 |
MEM | tot 7.5G | free 2.9G | cache 1.2G | buff 114.6M | |
9 |
slab 498.0M | shmem 848.3M | vmbal 0.0M | hptot 0.0M |
10 |
|
11 |
(My system has 8G memory installed) |
12 |
|
13 |
Adding up all terms except 'tot' I get 5.6G where are the remaining 2G? |
14 |
And why is shmem 0.85G - I have even seen a value of 4G for shmem |
15 |
although all tempfs filesystems |
16 |
were nearly empty. |
17 |
|
18 |
When I stop the X-server I get |
19 |
|
20 |
MEM | tot 7.5G | free 6.9G | cache 387.4M | buff 118.4M | |
21 |
slab 72.0M | shmem 1.4M | vmbal 0.0M | hptot 0.0M | |
22 |
|
23 |
|
24 |
I haven't seen this in the last 10 years! |
25 |
|
26 |
I'm running kernel 4.11.0-rc5 but I doubt it has to do with the kernel |
27 |
since the values without a running xorg-server are for the same |
28 |
kernel. |

Has anybody seen something similar? |
31 |
|

Many thanks for a hint, |
