Title: How to release the RAM on Endian Firewall 2.4 Community Edition
Post by: irvinehooi on Friday 29 October 2010, 05:49:25 pm
Hi I'm new to Endian Firewall 2.4 Community Edition.

I'm very satisfied with the feature and function that Endian Firewall 2.4 Community Edition provided. But I have to restart the Endian Firewall (mostly 3 or 4 days) or whenever the RAM is fully used or when it reached more than 70% (I means RAM, not the Buffers / Cache)

How come in Endian Firewall 2.4 Community doesn't provide the RAM release function whenever it full in such a great firewall ??

I was hope that the future release of the Endian Firewall Community Edition can incorporate this function.

My Firewall Box PC Spec is as below:
CPU: Core2 Duo 2.6GHz
RAM: 3GB DDR2
HDD: 260GB


Many Thanks.

I realize this isn't real helpful, but you've got something going on that isn't right. My production EFW has 2 GB RAM running at 40% and it has an uptime of 28 days with no problems. Check your loaded modules to see if you can find one that is bloated. That would be the "Status" tab then scroll down to the "Loaded Modules" pane. Look at the sizes of all the modules.

I suspect you won't find anything there that is causing the problem, but at least it gives us someplace to start.
