[389-users] 389 DS 1.2.5 on RHEL VM

[Barry Sitompul]

Hi All,


Thanks for the replies!

I am running the DS on a RHEL 5.5 x86_64 VM.

It's got 8GB of RAM and out of that I allocated 600MB for the LDBM  
plugin cache. I have four backend databases so does it mean 600 x 4  =  
2.4GB in total? Plus 3.8GB in total for the database entry caches.

after a closer look, the virtual memory usage spikes everytime an  
unindexed search is performed. Now I've got one sitting at 10G virtual  
memory usage. I would think that the usage should be limited to the  
maximum cache size above.

I started with the clean install of the VM and the 389-DS 1.2.5 so I  
don't think there is a problem with the OS, but thanks for the offer  
Gerrard.

What can cause the memory usage to always go up and not limited to the  
max cache size?


Cheers!
Bazza
