Thanks lavinog for that info. This immediately cleared up about 250MB of lost memory for me. Usually my server uses about 60MB but now and then after a reboot it will use 315MB and I can't find where it's gone. Dropping caches didn't help.
This bug doesn't appear to be taken seriously. Perhaps it needs to be filed in a better place where the right devs will see it? I can confirm that this bug is present on my newly created Lucid 10.4 server install and that the above echo command will fix it. -- Kernel trace buffer should be cleared and size restored after profiling https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/501715 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
