[Samba] How much memory does your smbd take up?
This is partly to do with my "Tall tale of woe" thread...
ive noticed in the past that when its crashed and ive had to restart etc
when the system comes back up i have ooooodles of memory available...
yet seemingly in the space of a few hours the amount available is taken
from 2GB down to 11MB
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 2016 2004 11 0 543 1257
-/+ buffers/cache: 204 1811
Swap: 4000 18 3982
now obviously applications DO use memory but i was wondering how much, and
is this normal behavior for a server running samba? (it also runs dns and
dhcp)
i have another server which runs samba but only 2 people connect to it...
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 1006 982 23 0 69 818
-/+ buffers/cache: 95 911
Swap: 2000 0 2000
pulling at straws now, but someone else asked the question and i didnt
know.
Many thanks
