BTW, can you please tell me * Which architecture this is (x86 or x86-64)? * The value of "ulimit -u" on this system. * The total amount of memory on the system. As Chet Ramey explained to me, the memory consumption is bound and the default limit depends on these factors. Assuming an x86-64 system, eating 22 MB of memory as you reported would take about 734000 records of 32 bytes each, and "ulimit -u" would be set to that value by default for a system with about 187 GB of memory. Which I would not expect in a NAS, so something is wrong. -- Jean Delvare SUSE L3 Support _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
