Description of problem: evolution-data-server appears to have a severe memory leak that results in the process using up all available memory and most of swap memory until eventually oom-killer terminates the process (along with many other system processes). This issue makes it impossible to run Evolution for more than a couple of hours and not at all if any other memory hungry application is running. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.24.5 How reproducible: It appears that the issue is very noticeable if CalDAV calendars are defined. My system goes into a swap in/out cycle after about 4 hours with nothing else running and oom-killer is finally executed on many processes after about 8 hours. Additional info: It appears this issue was logged as http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=564727 and has been fixed in head.
Could you try to update to this [1] package, please? It will fix your issue for sure. Thanks. [1] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F10/FEDORA-2009-3413 evolution-data-server-2.24.5-5.fc10
Thanks. So far so good. It is probably too early to tell but I will say that evolution-data-server is now only eating up 34MB after 10 minutes vs 350MB after 10 minutes. I'll be sure to log any new issues if I run into any.
