Hello everyone,

I noticed today a possible issue with one of my VPSes.

It shows an abnormal value for dcachesize.

Current limits are as follows:

There are no failcnts and the machine is up and running for a month now. Restarting the web and php-fpm servers didn't do much to lower the value. Is this metric supposed to stay that way all the time or it does decrease automatically?

Looking at open files usage I don't see something which accounts for that high of a value.

Currently running the following kernel on the host:

No zombie processes that hold open files.

I'm nowhere near the available free space in the VPS.

[root@CentOS-64-64-minimal conf]# vzcfgvalidate 103.conf
Validation completed: success


VPS is running CentOS 6.4 just like the host system. Is this an OpenVZ matter or the guest system is caching more files than I would like?

Any help is appreciated.
