I have 2 GB of ram and copying a 600mb file from My Documents in windows to my home in freeBSD. Here is what I did step by step. It does this consistantly. Open a konsole (terminal) su mount /dev/ad0s1 /mnt cd /mnt/path/to/my/file/ cp filename ~/ (Memory begins to fill until full) (file copy finishes) (Memory drops about 100-200mb below full) And the memory stays full until I reboot. I feel this is serious being that if this was a server, I would have to take down a production server to restore performance. >How-To-Repeat: Here is what I did step by step. It does this consistantly. Open a konsole (terminal) su mount /dev/ad0s1 /mnt cd /mnt/path/to/my/file/ cp filename ~/ (Memory begins to fill until full) (file copy finishes) (Memory drops about 100-200mb below full) >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
