OK, in previous versions it was remotely possible that could happen in some bizarre cases, but in 1.38.x Bacula does a garbage collection once a day releasing unused pooled buffers, so it shouldn't happen. I'd recommend that you ensure that the line #define DEVELOPER 1 is not commented out in the file src/version.h, then rebuild and reinstall your binaries. When you run them, redirect output to some log file somewhere, and then if you notice large memory usage, simply stop the daemon and see what is printed in the output. If there is nothing, then the problem is not with Bacula as *all* Bacula's memory using is tracked and reported if it is not released when the daemon stops. In that case, the problem will be in one of the libraries linked in -- e.g. sqlite, or the MySQL or PostgreSQL client libraries. > > Thanks, > Dominic > > >> After restarting the SD I am back to the more reasonable: > >> > >> 60159 bacula 3 20 0 4364K 2212K kserel 0:00 0.00% bacula-sd > >> > >> Presumably this is being caused by a memory leak somewhere.
