Hi All, I have migrated a server from a 32bit arch to a 64bit arch and I have noticed changes in the mem usage of some process. For example: in the 32 bit machine: top -b -d 1 -n 1 | grep httpd 7927 root 16 0 16568 8392 3416 S 0 0.2 0:00.06 httpd 7950 apache 25 0 16704 7040 2040 S 0 0.2 0:00.00 httpd 7951 apache 25 0 16704 7036 2036 S 0 0.2 0:00.00 httpd 7952 apache 25 0 16704 7036 2036 S 0 0.2 0:00.00 httpd .... in the 64 bit machine: 12905 apache 15 0 214m 34m 2640 S 0.0 0.9 0:01.74 httpd 12907 apache 15 0 214m 34m 2664 S 0.0 0.9 0:01.74 httpd 23889 apache 15 0 214m 34m 2692 S 0.0 0.9 0:01.48 httpd ... the amount of memory in the 64 bit machine is much more than in the 32bit. is it possible that with the new machine the use of mem have been increased so much? by the way, which is the symptom that the whole system is having problems with the amount of mem? I have used vmstat and I see something in the swpd column: #vmstat procs -----------memory---------- ---swap-- -----io---- --system-- -----cpu------ r b swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id wa st 0 0 325452 29088 197672 1544524 0 0 36 40 7 12 6 0 93 1 0 Thanks in advance ESG -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
