Hi, As this still seems to be an issue I moved the bug report status back to Incomplete. If this is actually a bug and not a configuration problem we'd really like to deliver a fix for it, or to get it properly filed upstream if it belongs tehre, however we first need to reproduce the issue locally in order to be able to investigate it and take actions.
As Andreas pointed out in comment #4 the provided steps are a bit too vague: we'd likely end in a frustrating "can't reproduce" scenario. What we need is a minimal set of commands (ideally a script) that brings from a fresh Ubuntu install to a OOM kill. Using a LXD container is probably the easiest way to experiment with reproducers. ** Changed in: mysql-5.7 (Ubuntu) Status: Expired => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1789343 Title: mysqldump in MySQL 5.7 running on Ubuntu 18.04 does not release memory To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-5.7/+bug/1789343/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
