blockquote, div.yahoo_quoted { margin-left: 0 !important; border-left:1px #715FFA solid !important; padding-left:1ex !important; background-color:white !important; } Thanks for getting back to me. The Linux version is 6.8. I am unable to reclaim the memory on the system without a reboot . Though i kill my process, i dont see where the memory went. When I run the application in windows I get no problems. The only difference I can see are the parameters and jmx. I will try to remove all the parameters and start from scratch.
How do I get you raw data? This is observe behavior using top and free. I am working with our admin to determine a solution.

Note that Java *never* gives any memory back to the OS, even when the heap-usage goes down. This is a Java thing, not a Tomcat thing. > Then when I try to kill the process, it dies but 12 GB is still > being used even though everything is turn off. That makes no sense at all.

If this is true, then you have some kind of awful kernel bug. > I am running on redhat 6.5 and can't figure out what could be > causing this.

Something tells me you are reading or interpreting something incorrectly, here. Can you please share your raw data, and where you got that raw data? Something like reports from free/ps/top/sar/etc.? - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJYy+qWAAoJEBzwKT+lPKRYd38P/34EhmWZaueHBR2cLJeitXa9 SOd5pf1XrtgVyyx6FebFQkNlckzUVV3LCrPMkL+OudWjezqU0c7O/F1sRlVJk18V A767jMpcSRI183QpDPBmbHKv6zsoVVibyXwMTbTDRAKzV+7JEGA4SrMEzEoyTcIv gak5ctUvAH6t+jQrLiuVCCIpsKnvDwoYmsbDo0fXmZ+mQgIHYSr3D4UCCEPBtsar o5uDJrwbGZRtKsHSvRoCxTGXlXIlD8SUE/+SlPsHo+R79AXN0cyI2GYSh8OfAW12 7gLzvrGpRzwyD34V/uFhoTugIx5OnNuN0Pw2jGBjrlRsDvBETiy/1CRKwMDe7u59 7ev9emoq5WpNRrDJuBN4MMzrFtBNOM/o04MPg5KVoM0clHyXOJrXbHJ1EkYWIkLr fdHr9ejfS9mQhYSYKXXSbjEDGOGGLrLmPbUJ6gfAg5PqsyNTYTYW24+bvpt1MykZ dkQXAB1CQ0YdNm6YIipYMD/d9kEYVpbXEKuVGT7QWTHRD3z/Pdcfp4hb05ckw0a3 UIa8Jk1yh8Z+f4pjAKFPi1VhhbaGU8VjGXKpdVcso/Ljohe/SzKs+IWuSJ/H97tE VzEwgYaMEPdtfSnBG5Hf/6HtnME4TCXSBn8rBcGCgn4/rvUIMJZOlXePRT0BLBOt /vhOk/rN/5h1XOrqVaqF =hBJ4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
