NETGEAR ReadyNAS memory exhaust
Hello, i own ReadyNAS 312 from Netgear. I have upgraded RAM from 2GB to 4GB using guides from the internet and also using SO-DIMM DDR3 module that has been reccommended from users as a supporte...
Your setup is a typical 512Mb to 1Gb setup, 4Gb is already overkill.
what does cat /proc/meminfo show ?
If the swap is shown unused with the "free -h" command you have nothing to worry about. Linux doesn't work like windows.
You could also do this "echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches", it will clear all caches, but I'm pretty sure you won't see any speed improvement (maybe the contrary since it may or may not have to pull things back from the HDD depending on what is cached).
There are a few processes that are launched several times on purpose (apache mainly but also other processes for multithread purpose). I wouldn't worry about them except if you installed them yourself.
For mysQL, TS and things like that, check your config they may spawn a process by user connceting. I don't use htop, does top show the same ?
