XFS 1.1: Too much memory consumed after updatedb

[Stefan Foerster <stefan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi there,

I'm running a Debian/woody system with Kernel 2.4.18-xfs-1.1. So far,
everything works very well. I have just one small problem: During
normal operation, only about 20% of my 512MB RAM are used by
processes, kernel and so on, the remaining memory is used for buffers
etc.
But whenver corn.daily executes the updatedb, memory usage increases
to about 60%. The used memory is not freed after updatedb terminates.
Using top or ps, I wasn't able to identify the process eating up all
that memory. Where can I start searching?


Ciao
Stefan
