Hello All,

News from my squid box.

I have changed fs from reiserfs to ext2 if you remember (due to the
suspect that it eats RAM).
And after cache dir is filled up ~95% I still get 300 MB of RAM gone
again....

It is a real mystery for me where the hell all RAM has gone, but I suspect
squid. Because when squid was turned off I had ~ 350 RAM in the buffers
and cache ... and now I have only:

            total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:        516312     510936       5376          0      17984      95408
-/+ buffers/cache:     397544     118768
Swap:       248968          0     248968

Any ideas ?

Are you running any kind of software RAID? The Linux kernel has had a few problems with memory leaks and RAID (http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/6/28/4 for one such example). The symptoms sound eerily familiar.
