2.4.20-19.9 currently, but I have the same effect with 2.4.20-18 and
2.4.20-20. The graph is exactly the same as it was weeks ago (every 2
weeks this happens, only this time the system was responsive enough to
return the information ;)
We recently found one problem which could affect the size of the inode
cache. It's not exactly a leak, because the resources can still be
reclaimed, but the inodes were filed away in a place where the VM was
least likely to go looking to reclaim them.
Could you "cat /proc/slabinfo" on the affected systems and see what the
inode_cache entry looks like, please?
