Well, perhaps you can point me in the right direction. I've got lots of slab usage by
47061 47030 99% 0.05K 581 81 2324K buffer_head
and I'm just trying to find out what's eating the ram on my computer. It's got to be somehow connected to the md device that I'm using.
because this doesn't exist on any of my other computers that have a 2.6 kernel on them. Only the one with the mdadm created RAID array. I'm
not saying that it's mdadm, but perhaps some aspect of the md "system".
thanks for your time,
