Hey,

 

For the last few weeks I seem to be suffering from a memory leak on my unraid server.  this had originally started with 6.1.6, but has persisted with an upgrade to 6.1.7.  I originally noticed the issue when I had enabled networking bonding.  With bonding turned on my network usage automatically climed approximately 30% with no other changes on the system.  With network bonding turned off, my memory consumption continues to climb from when I power on the server to the point where it shuts down running vm's due to a alack of free memory.

 

I have attached a copy of my diagnostics file for trouble shooting.

 

Any ideas as to what I may have configured incorrectly?

 

Thanks

How are you determining your "memory consumption"?

I'm using the memory usage meter on the dashboard.

Problem with that is Linux uses free memory as cache so it's normal to have very little free memory, and you can't read too much into it..

 

I'll see if I can find a good link to explain it better than me.

(Forgot about that one)

 

So it may be you need to look a bit more at the problem. 

My Dashboard shows 13% memory used, which agrees with the "used" portion of the graph on Dynamix System Stats, while that same graph show most of the the rest of my memory as used for cache.
