Hi,

Sorry one more thing. It is not a memory leak . In the experiment the data is 
being pulled from the disk zone file and loaded into memory. Then the process 
sits idle. RAM utilization is stable.  In other words, it is a footprint of the 
file into the cache. Easy experiment -> just the time-consuming task is to 
generate 100 MIL A + CANME dummy records into the zone file.

#9.18.5
/usr/local/sbin/named -v
BIND 9.18.5 (Stable Release) <id:6593103>

footprint of “many” records.

Thank you ISC,

New run with the same input

#9.18.5
pmap -x ... | tail -n 1
total kB         34892476 29399048 29395316

#9.16.21
pmap -x ... | tail -n 1
total kB         27935060 27341676 27338344

The diff. Is still the same ~ 2 GB.

I’m pretty much sure you will get the same results in your lab.  My guess the 
earlier experiment with 1 mil zones and small number of machines could not 
visualize the diff.

With 100 MIL of records the diff. is more visual.

Hence the same question -> Should the memory reduction apply to our experiment? 
Please let us know if any additional details about our experiment are required.

Regards,
Dmitri.

Hi Doug,

I think Ondrej is referring to this post from a prior month:

Also note the comment about ignoring ’total’ memory.

Please read the whole thread on measuring the real consumed memory.

The '“top” RES value' has little or no value at all.
