NethServer Version: 7.7.1908 (final)
Module: AD-DC
Does somebody know how do decrease the memory usage of the samba-ad-dc process?
Does disabling the debug mode lessen the ram-usage? Or does it screw up the ad-dc?
Hi
You forget: Linux doesn’t like “unused” RAM…
It will allocate RAM for use as eg caching.
→ Don’t worry about RAM in Linux, unless you know you have big RAM users - usually big databases, no matter if MariaDB, PostgreSQL or whatever is used…
My 2 cents

In my NethServer the samba process uses only a few megabytes:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
3449 root 20 0 594836 4624 0 S 0.0 0.1 0:00.53 samba
Can you tell us how long does it take to reach those high numbers after a restart? Is it a sudden step or a slow increase?
May it be related to your setup or a peculiar usage pattern of the AD?
Debugging a memory leak is “hard”, you can find some hints on the net.
You should adapt instructions to the container, where many commands are unavailable.
From NethServer manual:
systemd-run -M nsdc -t /bin/bash
You could save the output of smbcontrol <pid_of_samab> pool-usage after restart and after ram usage increases.

I wonder if this is related.
