Really High RAM Usage

Read 8634 times
Hi,

My centova cast is using a lot of ram! I have a server with 4GB ram and I only have 230MB left! I only have about 40 accounts on this server.

Has anyone else experienced this and can anyone recommend a way to fix this?

Thanks in advance :)
Yes that sounds about right to me, don't think there is anything to fix other than remove some accounts or upgrade your RAM - the icescc auto dj uses a lot more server resources vs sctrans, which is used in the new Centovav3.

Most likely you just don't understand how RAM is used on Linux.  In /proc/meminfo your actual available memory is the sum of the "MemFree" and "Cached" values.

Users experiencing "very high memory usage!!!1111" on Linux are usually unaware that the kernel tries to use all of your free memory for its file cache and auto-frees that memory as applications need it.  So no matter how much memory you have, the kernel will try to use it all, because hey, memory is fast, and it'd be dumb not to.
