We have a problem once again...
The server layout is: 2x Xeon 5140 (4 cores total), 16 GB RAM, SAS RAID 1. Installed are: OpenVZ, Debian (in the HN and VE alike), drbd. After some days of usage the machine started to show lack of free memory, and the most of it is Inactive in /proc/meminfo. After we've killed absolutely everything (with SysRQ+E!) the memory wouldn't free.
Inside of the node are various components (the HN is clean) - apache2+php, mysql5, mail, ejabberd, bind9.

Here are the stats.
