RES includes SHR. Thanks, now I understand.

What are the configuration options that affects the checkpointer process? Currently, under load, this process goes up to about 1.2GB of RAM: -- No it really doesn't. VIRT is every thing it touches whether it uses it individually or with other processes. RES is what THIS process is using all by itself. SHR is what it's accessing of shared memory. Here's a short explanation of what those three values mean: http://linuxpoison.blogspot.com/2009/10/what-is-difference-among-virt-res-and.html Also for a more technical one run "man top" and search for RES, SHR, and VIRT Yes, I understand that. That's why I've asked: why is checkpointer process consuming 1.2Gb of RAM (1215M RES more precisely), and which parameter affects its memory consumption?
