Hi cafebug:

Could you help me check some information?

Login via ssh ，then exec the following：
pid=$(pidof AdGuardHome);cat /proc/$pid/status

Then send me the screenshot.

Thanks!

actually, I never have AdGuardHome turned on, so your command doesn’t work.

Same problem for me. Memory at 96% but with adguard on

cafebug · 2021-11-18T11:44:21.327Z

Yes, the memory leaking problem is pita.

Can you ssh to the router and use the following command to see if the RAM will drop?

echo '3' > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

Pls let me know the result.

cafebug · 2021-11-18T11:47:43.260Z

Let me try it and report back …

cafebug · 2021-11-18T11:51:40.763Z

Before & After Command: (It works ) (78% —> 62% )

alzhao · 2021-11-18T11:52:32.730Z

OK. Thanks very much.

Seems we identified the problem. Pls wait for the new firmware. Compiling asap.

alzhao · 2021-11-25T03:45:49.298Z

Pls try 3.207 from GL.iNet download center

Hi @alzhao

I have the same issues even with firmware 3.207

lizh · 2021-12-16T08:31:38.171Z

Hi morcheba:

Memory is increased as the system runs. But will be freed when the system needs to use memory.

husncarter23 · 2022-03-14T22:08:33.530Z

lizh · 2022-03-15T03:56:57.282Z
