Hey guys,
We are running a Linux 2.4 enterprise edition box with 6GB of RAM,
**Postgres 8.0.3**. (snippage)
You might want to consider upgrading to 8.0.8 (see below), and seeing if
the problem still persists.
As you can see the postmaster users are taking way over the memory that
should be taken.
If any of you can give us some pointers we would really appreciate that
and thanks in advance.
I notice that there are a number of fixes for memory leaks since 8.0.3 -
8.0.4 and 8.0.8 is where I see 'em specifically (reading release notes
for 8.0.8). So you may be experiencing an issue that is fixed in the
current 8.0 releases! I recommend upgrading to 8.0.8.
You didn't say what your HW was, but if you are on a 32-bit platform,
then a 2.4 kernel when you have >2G ram may leak noticeable amounts of
memory itself...
Cheers
