Good point. No I did not see last post; I got kicked off the list for a couple of days, somehow, but all is well now. We are getting ready to go live with a large WebSphere environment and this could quickly become a real issue. Please resend me that link. To the list or my email is fine. Thank you. david_d...@bcbst.com -----Original Message----- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:ib...@listserv.uark.edu] On Behalf Of Marcy Cortes Sent: Monday, April 26, 2010 10:12 AM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Re: Linux / Websphere memory creep Does the creep go away when you stop/start the jvm? Did you see my response to your previous post? The link included disusses native memory leaks (or extreme usage) in websphere. ---------------------------------- We have an app doing that too. See http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21373312 <http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21373312> Disabling AIO solves it, but our app can't run in sync mode for its batch. So right now it's going back and forth 2x daily. We have a PMR open with IBM. FWIW, it happens on Linux on Intel too with this app (vendor app). It does not happen on Windows. So it is Linux specific, not platform specific. Marcy "This message may contain confidential and/or privileged information.

Running one instance of WebSphere 7 with 6 profiles / JVM instances. I started with 3 GIG, went to 5GIG, now at 6 GIG, and free memory still drops little by little, SWAP eventually begins to grow and finally performance goes to heck. Just like Windows (ouch) you reboot and everything is cool for a few more days.... I have read and heard the lectures on zLinux taking all you give it, but I need it to STOP.
