  | |  | Red Hat Enterprise WS 3 update 5 memory cache problem? | Red Hat Enterprise WS 3 update 5 memory cache problem? 2005-08-04 - By Comot KL
Back Hello experts,
I have one system Running RHEL WS 3 update 5 in Sun Microsystem Model W2100z AMD64 16GB of memory 2GB swap file. Them model is a certified from redhat http://bugzilla.redhat.com/hwcert/show.cgi?id=148524 . I'm running kernel 2.4.21-32ELsmp.
The situation is that it seems that redhat cannot release the cache that it have been use. Let say I start 1 program and it use 5GB of the memory then I quit the program and start another new different program. Let say that the new program need to use 3GB of memory. If I use free -m it shows that I've been using 8GB and so on... until it fill up all the 16GB. If I quit all the programs, still it wont release the cache.
Is there any command that I can use to release the cache. Has anyone experience this.
Is there any solution/patch for this issue..
Thanks in advance,
comot.
