I’m using version: 5.5.28-29.1 Percona Server (GPL), Release 29.1 3 days ago mysql starts to eat more memory, than usually. And I can`t find why. Load is the same for a long period of time. Restart doesn`t help. I`ve attached munin graph. Can anyone help to find problem? ![]() ---

You mean it is using less memory. Maybe you restarted it, and old pages do not fill the buffer pool as they have not been read yet. ---

I mean that Percona was using less memory than now.
