505M RAM used by NetworkManager?!
Hey Linux Hackers,
Can someone help me understand why NetworkManager is using 505M of RAM? I'm running a simple RHEL7 web server on a small VPS with 256M RAM and a 1G swap file. My #1 most RAM-consuming process is NetworkManager. Code:
[root@localhost ~]# ps aux | grep -i networkmanager Code:
[root@localhost ~]$ uname -a |
Perhaps you should also get the header line.

The box became unresponsive, so I had to reboot it.

Code:
[root@localhost ~]$ ps aux | head -n1 And free Code:
[root@localhost ~]# free -m Is this a known issue with NetworkManager on Cent7? This is a headless, CLI-only server with only 256M of RAM and no GUI. NetworkManager is now the default networking daemon for server installs of CentOS 7, and I'm just trying to understand why it's eating all my RAM. I didn't have this issue with Cent 6. |
NetworkManager is pretty pointless in a server, isn't it?

The request for header was for your edification, not mine. Vsize is no indication of RAM usage - that is what RSS is included in the display for. Go get ps_mem for a (much) better indication of memory usage - may be in the repos, else just go download it, it's a python script.

256 MB of RAM. It is asking for nice lean OS. Having Linux OS using less than 40 MB fully loaded is certainly possible ... perhaps not with RHEL.
