Supply the following if possible:
- Device problem occurs on
netgear r6350
- Software versions of OpenWrt/LEDE release, packages, etc.
OpenWrt 19.07.4 r11208-ce6496d796 / LuCI openwrt-19.07 branch git-20.247.75781-0d0ab01
I installed ocserv too but I don’t think its the problem
- Steps to reproduce
Just let router run, maybe will stay up for a week and then at some point gui tells me can’t fork, I can’t login to router with ssh and I have to power cycle it.

I added swap space on a USB stick to try to keep it from locking up.
I’ve ssh’ed into and run the following to try to figure out what’s going on.

I expected to find a process growing but nothing looks obvious to me. I just see free memory keep going down, and I see a bit of swap space used.

Any suggestions on what else I could do to figure out what’s going on with the memory usage?

looking at meminfo it shows about ~100M used but the numbers don’t seem to add up to that.

while sleep 60
do
  date
  uptime
  top -b -n 1 | head -n 10
  ps w | awk '$3 > 4000'
  free -m
  cat /proc/meminfo
  printf "\n"
done

Here’s what 10 days looks like:
