For larger environments, we've stopped running orca in continuous mode.
We just run it multiple times with the -o flag (we have some systems that
have collections that are pulled every 15 minutes).

Subject: [Orca-users] hitachi 9980
We recently installed a Hitachi 9980 disk array into our center, and as a
result orca (0.264, orcallator.cfg file version 1.36) seems to have
developed a memory leak. Only 10 domains are being graphed by this orca
process so we are not talking about large numbers. On the domain on which
orca runs - memory swap space usage was absolutely constant until this
device was introduced. The introduction of this device, of course,
significantly increased the number of disks to be graphed - for multiple
domains.
here are some top commands. the first one is about 5 hours after starting
orca -

i know there have been memory leaks reported on this list for orca 0.27 so
i'm not sure that's the solution. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
As you can see above - space is going going and will once again soon be
gone. Last time it took around 42 hours before ORCA crashed with
Out of memory during "large" request for 266240 bytes, total sbrk() is
2545103736 bytes at /usr/local/lib/Orca/ImageFile.pm line 318.
