Topic: bitcoind eats whole server ram (Read 980 times)
As to why it is happening only when bitcoind is running: its database part is IO intensive. The OS cache should improve performance by quite a lot. In any case, this RAM is not claimed by other processes and would be sitting with garbage in it otherwise. When a process requests more memory, the OS will automatically reduce the cache size at nearly no cost (just maintenance of the page pool directory).
Yep, as everyone says here.. You're misreading the report. Bitcoin is using 1.2GB ram and you have plenty of available memory.
It should be used by buffers/cache not by processes.
The screenshot of top shows plenty of cached, no buffers though, notice there is no swap, cached is just a line below and showing totals (includes swap)
How about
free -m -t
free -m -t
Yeah, I like free better as well.
How about
free -m -t
free -m -t
It is your operating system caching files. It is not "eaten". It boosts file system performance.
This is totally normal. "Free" memory is wasted memory.

@OP
List processes by memory usage
ps -e -orss=,args= | sort -b -k1,1n

as expected

10% used by bitcoind. Why do you say it eats the whole server ram?
KiB Mem: 12582912 total, 12382324 used, 200588 free
Because this happens only when i´m running the bitcoin deamon. there is nothing else on this machine. just a lighthttpd server and this deamon.
i dont have a screenshot yet but without a running bitcoin deamon the memory and cache looks untouched after a day.
and i cant run echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches on this fucking vBox to clear out the cache -.-

someone else knows that problems?
i have up to 10GB fix ram on my server an 12gb dynamic. but it gots eaten after 1 day with a running deamon
bitcoind version:
"version" : 90300
my config:
server=1
daemon=1
rpcuser=xxxx
rpcpassword=xxxx
rpctimeout=30
rpcport=8332
rpcconnect=127.0.0.1
gen=0
keypool=100
paytxfee=0.00
thanks for help,
