Hi list,

following up this

   <http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=27098562>

I temporarily set "Accurate = yes" for the job in question (currently
still backing up everything), to see what impact this has on
performance. The incremental after that didn't take much longer than
usual, but the memory usage of the director and file-daemon skyrocketed.

That itself is expected and mentioned in the docs. What I didn't expect
was that the memory consumption didn't go down after the job was done.
Both, director and fd, were hogging up over 2G of RAM each until I
restarted them. There were no jobs running, no database activity, nothing.

That can't be the intended behavior, right? Does anyone have an idea
what could be going on and/or how to resolve this?

I'm running Bacula 5.0.3 with Postgres 8.3 on Solaris 10. The director
and fd in question are running on the same box, if that's of any importance.


Regards,
Christian Manal
