UPDATE: Memory usage monitoring?

After more investigations, I saw that another box (same hardware/software) had the same problem.

The memory usage grew while transferring big files via scp (>50Mbit/s) on both system. They have Intel Gigabit interfaces and use the e1000g driver. Is there knwon issues with this driver?

Xavier

0 and 1. Now what could be so hard about that?

Hi *,
I've a box running Solaris 10 6/06. 5GB of physical memory + 5GB of swap.
The box is running 3 zones and a zfs volume delegated to zones.
The server is up since 2 days and, today, 3GB of RAM were allocated in +/- 30 minutes. Then, no more big allocations.
(my SNMP monitoring and smc console reported the same values)
If I run a 'prstat -Z', I get:
ZONEID    NPROC  SIZE   RSS MEMORY      TIME  CPU ZONE
     2       36  657M  524M    10%   0:03:24 0.6% app5
     0       59  447M  232M   4.5%   0:03:55 0.1% global
     7       30  111M   69M   1.3%   0:00:41 0.0% delta5
     6       37  172M   95M   1.8%   0:00:35 0.0% web5
          Total: 1377M
How can I debug this issue? Memory leak? Is there new "buffers" allocated by the kernel? Help!
Regards,
Xavier
