After a reboot I got the following values:
Before launching any BackupPC process:
total used free shared buffers
Mem: 30412 21884 8528 0 9480
Swap: 500508 0 500508
Total: 530920 21884 509036
After launching '/etc/init.d/backuppc start':
total used free shared buffers
Mem: 30412 27392 3020 0 7540
Swap: 500508 0 500508
Total: 530920 27392 503528
After launching '/usr/local/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_serverMesg status info':
total used free shared buffers
Mem: 30412 29228 1184 0 4932
Swap: 500508 0 500508
Total: 530920 29228 501692
Seems that swap space isn't even needed. I am astonished, too, because free
shows 24, 22, and 16% memory usage by the three BackupPC processes, whereas
the above figures seem to show that the BackupPC processes just need
additional 7,5 MB which is less than 25% of the device's 32MB RAM.
Strange, isn't it?
