> I get this problem and the slab cache using all the memory (48GB) even with mcafee off. I attached a screenshot of atop showing some numbers. When you say 'mcaffee off', do you mean the kernel module has never been loaded, or just the userspace isn't running ? if it's happening with mcaffee never having been loaded, slabtop when its in that state might be interesting. Dave Slabtop does not run. ------------------------------------------ slabtop unrecognizable data in slabinfo! error reading slabinfo! --------------------------------------------- This e-mail and any files transmitted with it may be proprietary and are intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
