X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.06 [en] (Win95; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: FreeBSD questions Subject: Release memory, allocated during core saving. Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello. After kernel crashes, FreeBSD saves core dump during next time booting. This opearation, looks like, allocates a lot of memory (I think for filesystem cache). After booting I try to allocate some memory in kernel, but it fails, because of lack of memory (it still being kept by somebody). Is there any way in FreeBSD kernel to flush Filesystem cache and thus free memory to be used by kernel for other purposes. Or I have to reboot computer again to avoid saving core and lack of memory in kernel. Thanks a lot. ------------------------------------- Sergey Verzunov Netscaler, Inc 4800 Great America Pkwy, Santa Clara, CA 95054 Tel: (408) 330-9200 x117 Fax: (408) 330-9209 sverzunov@netscaler.com --------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
