out of curiosity: yesterday I've seen a box[0] with ~4 TB Committed_AS:
CommitLimit: 3085152 kB
Committed_AS: 4281048084 kB
VmallocTotal: 118776 kB
VmallocUsed: 13772 kB
VmallocChunk: 103880 kB
Since it's a rather old kernel (2.6.19.2), I just want to know: could this
be related to what you've seen or this completely different (and
Committed_AS is just this high because some st00pid app has allocated this
much memory but not freed again)?
Thanks,
Christian.
