Memory leaks detection
Hi, I run backup at night, the most important directories archived using tar.
Since then disappears system's memory (about 1Gb). I tested this process
with memleak.d from http://blogs.sun.com/sanjeevb and found many leaks
for tar:
# findleaks.pl /tmp/tarlog | more
Ptr=0x445e8 Size=48
libc.so.1`malloc+0x64
libc.so.1`calloc+0x58
tar`0x1ad68
tar`0x1ae44
tar`0x1b16c
tar`0x145c4
tar`0x136c0
tar`main+0xb18
tar`_start+0x108
Ptr=0x44578 Size=10240
libc.so.1`malloc+0x64
libc.so.1`calloc+0x58
tar`0x1502c
tar`0x1495c
tar`0x1495c
tar`0x1495c
tar`0x1495c
tar`0x136c0
tar`main+0xb18
tar`_start+0x108
and more...
And for example on command `cp -R /export/home/* /opt/tmp` I detected memory leaks toо.
Who still blame for the memory loss - tar or the system?
