Hi on a simple 'find /var -name sendmail* -print' command, the find-process eats all my memory (128 Meg RAM) when there is no memory left, the process gets killed.
I work with debian woody with recent update, reiserfs, 128 meg RAM & 256 meg SWAP on my P3 733 system. Here is what I get using 'top': PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM CTIME COMMAND 24610 root 14 0 98624 82M 400 R 21.2 76.8 0:17 find greetz michael ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael De Nil -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linux LiSa 2.4.14 #6 SMP Sun Nov 25 16:59:04 CET 2001 i686 20:25:01 up 1 day, 6:19, 7 users, load average: 4.31, 3.61, 3.04 -----------------------------------------------------------------------
