<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Greetings..</FONT></DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
<DIV><BR>I'm running memcached 1.1.12 with libevent 1.1a on an RHEL4 box (uses a
2.6 linux kernel). I've varified that this installation is using
epoll.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What I notice happening is that memcached will suddenly stop working
and as it does so, it's share of resident memory steadily decreases--almost as
if it's being "squeezed out" of memory. I'm not sure if that is actually
what is happening, memory wise, but that is what seems most remarkable to
me.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I can cure this by restarting memcached and apache. It will then work
fine again... typically for a couple of days or so, until another such incident
will occur. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Here is the line I use to start memcached:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>./memcached -d -p 9008 -m 512 -l 127.0.0.1</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have 2GB of system memory on this machine.</DIV>
<DIV><BR>Any ideas, or methods for collecting additional information I could
post?</DIV>
<DIV><BR>Thanks for any help.</DIV>
<DIV><BR>Joel</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
