Is anybody else seeing continually-increasing RAM use in RHEL 6? I'm
running on x86_64, and it appears the kernel is steadily increasing its
RAM use. If I compare process RAM usage to total used RAM, there is a
big discrepancy:
# ps aux | awk '{x+=$6}END{print x}'
319736
# free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 2055296 1791096 264200 0 201512 626996
-/+ buffers/cache: 962588 1092708
Swap: 2621432 16 2621416
I looked at "slabtop", and the dentry cache is the culprit:
OBJS ACTIVE USE OBJ SIZE SLABS OBJ/SLAB CACHE SIZE NAME
3078900 3078900 100% 0.19K 153945 20 615780K dentry
Anybody else seeing this?

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
