RBS960 satellite memory creep again
Just started - noticed it early this morning. As it shows, it's been up for over 3 weeks. It will be interesting to see if it stops or if it ends up restarting or losing its connection via backhaul. ...
Does the RBS exhibit the same thing or different.
Keep monitoring and see if this one RBS fails.
Wondering if you swapped RBS around if the problem would follow.
FW v.31?
Does the RBS exhibit the same thing or different. This is the RBS. The other RBS is fine.
Keep monitoring and see if this one RBS fails. - News flash! It went all day to 6:41 PM, now up to 476MB. I had to try something lol - I unplugged the Eth cable and after 2 minutes (LED was magenta - too far aw3ay for WiFi Backhaul) I plugged it back in., It's only been 20 minutes, but the memory has already dropped TWICE! 473 then 472. I'll keep watching, then if that continues update my support ticket with this failure.

FW v.31? It may take 22 days!
The system has been stable for over 22 days with minor increases in memory usage and consistent CPU usage.
Here's my latest update on "memory creep" --
1st floor RBS is up to 604MB now; most I have ever seen is the router at around 660MB max. I am really curious to see what will happen. AND - NEW NEWS - the other RBS started creeping yesterday. It was around 388MB for a long time, now it's up to 444MB. Both will be up 24 days in a few hours!
The odd thing is the CPU on the RBSs - one is 5.8%, the other 6.2%. They are pretty idle yet memory usage grows.
Everything else is good - RBR stable CPU/mem, no disconnects or restarts, IPv6 fine, modem signals/errors etc clean.I'll post again when one or both RBSs' memory creeping is resolved - at some point they will either stabilize on their memory creep or be forced to auto restart I think!
Update - My one RBS is up to 620MB, the other up to 460. I bet something happens to the one RBS in the next 24 hours. If it's bad (restart loss of backhaul etc.) I'll update my support ticket along with an explanation of what finally happened. If it just stabilizes, well then we don't honestly know if it's a bug or not.
