[rhn-users] Memory utilization 100%

[Simon Ball]

Two things...

1. This is chronically off topic

2. Search the archives for the list and you'll find a long explanation from myself and various others on how linux memory works, and why this is probably not actually a problem.

Hope it helps, but I suspect the Taroon list would help you more.

Hi, 

We are running RedHat AS3 Update6 on Dell Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 2.80GHz (Dual) with 8GB RAM. 

Even with minimum services running, the memory utilization reaches 100% in 2 or 3 days. Can anyone please advise us on this ASAP as this is a production environment. 



Thanks in advance 

I am having the same problem on a production web server running RH E3 Update 6. I never have to reboot to continue the normal service, but if I want to burn cds or dvds I have to reboot to get enough memory free.
