Hi all, please post in this thread you LFS Server parameters and how many memory uses LFS Lapper.
My server:
Debian Lenny, 512 RAM
Running 4 LFS_Dedi
Lapper working under MONO on 3 dedies and uses ~ 300 Mb RAM
So your total memory consumption when running lapper with 4 dedi servers is about 300MB? Linux reports memory usage a bit differently to Windows, are you sure that it's only the memory really in use without any cache/buffers? Are you running X on that server?
Anyway, as long as your server doesn't start showing some performance problems (like frequent swapping), you don't have to worry about memory usage. Linux always tries to utilize as much memory as possible in order to improve performance, keep in mind that unused RAM is a wasted RAM
I have dedicated server at a hosting company, which is running 9 dedicated LFS servers and Lapper 5.846
Lapper is connected to 7 of those dedicated LFS servers and uses a total ammount of memory of 45 MB
Each LFS server uses between 9 and 12 MB of memory
Total system memory is 1 Gb
I need at least 21 MB to get the basic LFS dedi and Lapper config running on Arch64.
What are the most memory demanding apps running on your server? Can you run "top", sort processes by reserved memory usage (SHIFT+m) and post the output? What version of mono do you have installed?
You can try updating to mono 2.6, I think there is an experimental package available for Deb Lenny. I'm not really familiar with LFSLapper scripts, but is it possible that these scripts contain some sort of bug causing a memory leak? Other that that, I find your memory usage quite OK.
