I have a box w/t 2 xeons, 2 scsi 80 (raid 1), plesk unloaded, 2GB ram

System resources says 60% of ram being used....I have nothing config'd on box...what could be hogging all the ram

At the command line, type

free

and see how much RAM is being used for buffering and caching. Linux loves to cache files in memeory and I love that it does so too, good for shared hosting because lots of static web content can be cached in memory.

Do you the ram was from installs and it hasnt dumped...???

OS/Plesk recently installed?

sounds like youve got a pretty slick system there son, ummm what id go and try doing is rebooting ONLY IF you notice system performance decredation/degrading as freakysid mentioned linux DOES love caching

good luck and may the force be with you ;)

you guys nailed it..Linux is caching 1.2 gigs.....

this ole newb (me) just upgraded from 7.2
