Hmmm. There is an md related memory leak in 2.6.12, but I don't think it is there in 2.6.11.anything. If 'ps' doesn't show anything, the next place to look is /proc/slabinfo (which 'slabtop' might display for you).

What does 'cat /proc/slabinfo' show?
I've attached my /proc/slabinfo. Thanks :) David --One login to rule them all, one login to find them. One login to bring them all,
