Hi run top -i
to see name process have problem
Also see if an files in your repertory tmpfs disk df to see if mounted and linked directory
Best regards
Konerak is correct. I ask that question to before. I have 16 GB of RAM in a linux machine and all of a sudden it goes to cache but through researching to forums and website that is just normal. It will allocate available memory to cache so that application can use it.
Have you explore the settings on your JAVA apps regarding setting up memory allocated for JAVA?
Again, while this command works, you only revert the linux philosophy: "idle memory is a waste". Linux puts your unused-memory to use, why would you undo that?
Cache memory is just some nix-trix: instead of "not using" memory your system doesn't need, it will use the memory to "cache data". When an application requests more memory, the kernel will free the cache if needed though, so don't worry, memory used by the cache is actually "available" for your programs.
Your java thing seems indeed to be using 2Gb of memory.. not much more I can say of that. If the java thing grows, then it's probably your java code. If the java thing always uses the same amount of memory, and something else grows, it's something else :')
As you said when an application requests for more memory the kernel will release the cached memory but I have seen the case where one Java process needs 2gb memory and around 12gb of heap space got cached and at the same time it is showing around 25mb of free space and application throws java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space.
Can you please describe it bit more elaborately?
And also let me know how can be the cached memory release and get used during the execution of process?
the kernel willautomatically release the cached memory, if available. If java reports an error, perhaps you didn't start the Virtual Machine with the appropriate parameters?
If I recall correctly from my java-days, try launching the VM with the
to allocate 128Mb of memory from the start, and 2048Mb as maximum.
If you're still having problems with java memory leaks, there are toolkits out there to detect leaks in your application. I've never used any, so I suggest you use plain old google.
good morning,
how I can know how much total and free memory I have in my AIX 5.3 server, and this is shown in megabytes or gigabytes?
Thank you very much. (4 Replies)
Hi,
we are experiencing very odd behavior. After "mkfile 1g <somefile>" the available memory seen through vmstat memory free column decreases by the same ammount. It doesn't matter where the <somefile> is located, even when the file is on NAS, the available memory decreases. When the file is... (2 Replies)

I was running a program and it stopped and showed "Out of Memory!". at that time, the RAM used by this process is around 4G and the free memory size of the machine is around 30G. Does anybody know what maybe the reason? this program is written with Perl. the OS of the machine is Solaris U8. And I... (1 Reply)

2. Available Physical Memory(i.e. RAM Usage)
3. Total (Logical) Memory in the system
4. Available (Logical) Memory.

Linux Kernels 2.6.16 and up provide a way to instruct the kernel to drop the page cache, inode and dentry caches on command. This tip can help free Linux memory without a reboot.
Note: This is a non-destructive operation. Dirty objects are not freeable, hence; you must run sync beforehand.
