it runs well using about 300 M of 1 G physical RAM.
However, the remaining RAM decreases day by day, and after 2 or 3
weeks, the machine crashes because swapping takes too much time.
However, all processes together take about 250 MBytes according to ps,
thus I assume that the kernel takes the rest. free tells me in fact that
much swap space is used an nearly no physical RAM is left.
I think you'd better get some monitoring on that system and find out
what's really happening. Log the size of the apache processes on a
regular basis (or graph them with Cacti or MRTG) and see if they are the
problem or not.
/dev/shm is allocated out of kernel heap space typically ~1GB, though you can
change
this by changing the address space the kernel is loaded into. When you hit the
max, its a hard panic/reboot
instantaneously.
You might try dropping the number of inodes for this to keep the size smaller.
At least thats my best guess.
