linux buff/cache过大，清理脚本服务器管理

三条指令：
sync
echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

执行完这三条指令后通过free -m命令查看，free可用内存马上增多，buff/cache列值变小，说明内存被释放了，但是不能总是手动的执行这三条指令，所以最后写了一个shell脚本，开启Linux定时任务crond，每天早上检查一次free内存，当小于4G时执行这三条命令（注：系统内容20G）。
注意：在执行这三条命令之前一定要先执行sync命令（描述：sync 命令运行 sync 子例程。如果必须停止系统，则运行sync 命令以确保文件系统的完整性。sync 命令将所有未写的系统缓冲区写到磁盘中，包含已修改的 i-Node、已延迟的块 I/O 和读写映射文件）

解决方案（手动）
1. 修改/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches，释放Slab占用的cache内存空间（参考drop_caches的官方文档）：

[plain]view plain copy

Writing to this will cause the kernel to drop clean caches, dentries and inodes from memory, causing that memory to become free.
To free pagecache:
* echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
To free dentries and inodes:
* echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
To free pagecache, dentries and inodes:
* echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
As this is a non-destructive operation, and dirty objects are notfreeable, the user should run "sync" first in order to make sure allcached objects are freed.
This tunable was added in 2.6.16.

注意：在执行这三条命令前先执行sync命令

解决方案（自动）
1、编写shell定时任务脚本freemem.sh

[plain]view plain copy

#! /bin/sh
used=`free -m | awk 'NR==2' | awk '{print $3}'`
free=`free -m | awk 'NR==2' | awk '{print $4}'`
echo "===========================" >> /app/memory/logs/mem.log
date >> /app/memory/logs/mem.log
echo "Memory usage before | [Use：${used}MB][Free：${free}MB]" >> /app/memory/logs/mem.log
if [ $free -le 4000 ] ; then
sync && echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
sync && echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
sync && echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
used_ok=`free -m | awk 'NR==2' | awk '{print $3}'`
free_ok=`free -m | awk 'NR==2' | awk '{print $4}'`
echo "Memory usage after | [Use：${used_ok}MB][Free：${free_ok}MB]" >> /app/memory/logs/mem.log
echo "OK" >> /app/memory/logs/mem.log
else
echo "Not required" >> /app/memory/logs/mem.log
fi
exit 1
