Subject: NTFS - Kernel memory leak in driver for kernel 2.4.28 (update)
Date: Wed, 16 Feb 2005 08:55:45 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <712fce105021608557a1f0b6e@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I noticed that the inode_cache is quite high. No matter what I do to
the tunable system parameters in /proc (below) I can't get the amount
of memory taken by the inode cache to reduce and become freed for
userspace programs.
/proc/sys/vm/vm_mapped_ratio ( tried 20 - 100 )
/proc/sys/vm/vm_vfs_scan_ratio ( tried 2 - 6 )
How often does the dcache/icache shrinking take place in 2.4?
On vfat/fat32, ext2/3 filesystems I don't see anywhere near the amount
of lost memory than when using the NTFS filesystem. This is what led
me to think that the NTFS driver was leaking, rather than this being
an inode cache problem.
