Hi All, I am having a bit of the problem (actually there were two. One, seems to be solved)... I had a ASUS E35M1-M PRO mobo-based server w/8GB RAM and two NIC cards (the onboard NIC and a D-LINK DGE-530T REV C1, later replaced by an INTEL PRO/1000 GT DESKTOP). When I first built this server I opted for a basic Ubuntu 12.04 LTS server install and all was well, except that despite my best efforts I could not get the DGE card up to Gigabit speed (and on occasions, during a reboot, the card would stop working altogether) ; and worse, over the course of hours, the memory usage crept to over 90% of installed capacity. I desired to upgrade the kernel several times up to the 3.13.rc8 version to no avail.
I tried replacing the DGE NIC with the INTEL PRO/1000 GT and while that fixed the problem I had with the NIC to starting during the reboot, the memory leakage and NON-Gigabit speed remained. I lastly upgraded to Ubuntu Trusty Tahr (development branch); but encountered another problem: A definitive memory leak error every time I logged into the system. After reading through several online post, I came to the conclusion (based on others experience) that the problem may be due to a faulty samba installation (or more specifically python-samba). At this point I figured I had nothing to lose and decided to remove python from the system and reinstall. After issuing the following commands: # apt-get --purge autoremove python-* # apt-get autoremove attr libaio1 libapparmor-perl libhdb9-heimdal libkdc2-heimdal libldb1 libmpdec2 libntdb1 libpolkit-agent-1-0 libpolkit-backend-1-0 libtevent0 policykit-1 run-one # apt-get install python # apt-get install samba and rebooting the system, this is the current memory consumption: KiB Mem: 7769996 total, 504060 used, 7265936 free, 17268 buffers Although the issue with the NIC remains, at least now my server is back to performing within acceptable parameters. Now, any ideas how I can solve the issue with the NIC? Thanks
