Обсуждение: Postgresql & Redhat 6.2 = memory leak?
I am running postgresql 7.1.2 on Redhat 6.2 with 387 megs of memory. After running a vacuum analyze or loading postgresql with 50 megs of data. The memory drops down to only a couple of megs. After stopping postgresql the memory does not return. Has anyone had this problem before? thanx.. Mike

I would not consider this a problem.
You have not really given enough detail to determine what exactly the
situation is. It seems that your operating system is simply caching the
filesystem data. I wouldn't be concerned about this unless you are
recieving out-of-memory errors from applications.
Just for giggles, what OS are you using?

My kid sister does (but then, she prefers pico to vi ...)

I am checking for free memory using the command "top" and "cat /proc/meminfo". I've tested this under Redhat 6.2 kernel 2.2.14 and Redhat 7.1 kernel 2.4.2.
