Recently, I have been getting a Read Timed Out error on my server. I noticed that the ram usage when I started the server was low, as it should be, then slowly built up. The ram usage never went down when I started it, it just went up. At first, I thought this was a plugin issue, then I took all the plugins off and white-listed it and changed the port so nobody could join. It still did this, so I renamed the world and loaded up another one. Still did it, no plugins and not the same world. Then I changed from CraftBukkit to vanilla, still the same thing, the ram usage never dropped, only built up. Here is a chart of the ram usage: The points on there where it goes down is when the server is restarting. What I have tried doing: I have tried doing a memtest to see if it was bad ram, the ram checked out fine. Checking the SSD to see if something was wrong, nothing. Updating the OS version, nothing. Downgrading Java to JRE 6.0 instead of JDK 7.0 There might be some more things that I've tried, but I can't remember them right now. I'm honestly stumped here, I can't think of anything that's going wrong.
I had a similar problem due to bad RAM. The memtest found problems, but it wasn't actually a bad RAM stick: the RAM slots on my motherboard were fried. However, the memtest did locate the problem, leaving me without any ideas for your problem.
Yeah I read through that thread but nothing seemed to work. Ik the jvm manages the RAM usage not minecraft but it should at least release some ram every once and a while right?
