LVE Shows Huge Memory Usage for Users When no Actual Processes are Running

CloudLinux Support
  • Updated

If you see no processes under some user, but LVE Manager and LVE Statistics keep telling it is using some memory, the most probable reason for this behavior is disk cache. To check personal users disk cache check these files:

  • on CloudLinux 6: # cat /proc/bc/XXX/meminfo
  • on CloudLinux 7 and CloudLinux 6 Hybrid: # cat /proc/bc/lveXXX/meminfo

Look for this line: Cached: 67300 kB

  • on CloudLinux 8 and CloudLinux 7 Hybrid: # cat /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/lveXXX/memory.stat

Look for this line:  cache 1662976

where XXX is user ID, could be found with # id username

    No such thing on hybrid (4.18) kernel. Alternative ? Another location ?

    Hello Christos,

    Yes, there is another location.

    # cat /sys/fs/cgroup/memory/lveXXX/memory.stat

    Look for this line: 

    cache 1662976
