Hello list, I am replying to my own e-mail in case anyone else has this problem. It appears that the leak is in the SuSE SLES9 (2.6.5-7.XXX-smp) kernel. An upgrade to 2.6.14-rc5-mm1 eliminated the issue. --Blake On Monday 17 October 2005 11:53 am, Blake Atkins wrote: > On Monday 17 October 2005 05:21 am, Lars Ellenberg wrote: > > / 2005-10-13 13:25:01 -0400 > > > > \ Blake Atkins: > > > Hello list, > > > > > > I am experiencing a memory leak with SuSE SLES9 x86_64 kernel > > > 2.6.5-7.193-smp and a self-compiled DRBD 0.7.11.
