Package: libgtop2
Version: 2.0.8-7
Severity: normal
This is a follow-up to bug #231421. I'm using the latest libgtop2 and
hardware-monitor 0.7-5. The kernel version is 2.6.1. When I run for instance
find / -type f > /dev/null
the memory usage grows by over 100MB. I believe this is because the Slab
cache is included in the memory usage. When I run the above command the Slab
field in /proc/meminfo grows to over 100MB. A closer look at /proc/slabinfo
shows that it's the ext3_inode_cache that grows very large. Since this memory
will be freed when it's needed by applications it should be subtracted from
the memory usage IMHO.
Regards,
Felix

Hi,
This is a followup for Debian bug <http://bugs.debian.org/libgtop2>.
It has been a while, sorry for the late followup.

I think this particular bug has been fixed a while ago in libgtop, but
I can't exactly how. However, I can't reproduce the behavior you
explained anymore, and libgtop supports Linux 2.6 now.
I'm closing this bug, please reopen it if necessary (or mail me).
