hi
I suspect three openvz-servers administered by us do suffer similiar problems like http://forum.openvz.org/index.php?t=tree&goto=26664
first - all RHEL4 based openvz-servers do not have this problem here.
only RHEL5 based openvz-systems are affected.
roughly 45 days after reboot - those machines - running not a very high load - have eaten up 8 GB swap and 4 GB RAM.
stopping VEs does only free several 100 Megs. stopping openvz alltogether also doesn't help - it seems the kernel is eating up all of this.
only a reboot fixes this.
latest verified kernel with this problem:
2.6.18-53.1.6.el5.028stab053.6
releases of kernels before are unknown but I remember having to reboot those boxes at least for two more times, so probably the problem was introduced during Summer 2007.
we're now running 2.6.18-53.1.13.el5.028stab053.10 - but this only for a few hours - so any suggestions are very welcome.
kindest regards
