Anyone else experiencing "dasd" memory leak on beta 2?

[DoctorFedora]

A few times this week I've arrived at my M1 iMac in the morning only to find the "you are out of system memory" window displayed with a list of everything being paused, and then when I check Activity Monitor I see that "dasd" has basically used up all of my 16 GB of RAM. Anyone else experiencing this at all? It started when I installed beta 2. It's not, like, life-shattering, but it is certainly an inconvenience that I look forward to getting fixed, heh.

same here, with an iMac M1 16 GB.

Turn off your iMac in the evening. Problem solved 🙂

I don't see that here. dasd is a background activity scheduler. Perhaps you've got some background task that is causing the problem?

I'm seeing the same on an M2 Pro mini. Also seeing high CPU usage with dasd and appstoreagent. I have DB2 installed on an MBA too, but I don't have either of these issues on that one.

Not running out of memory here but appstoreagent was causing high CPU usage (250+%) which had dasd also using high CPU (150+%). Killing the process offered temp relief, then it relaunched and immediately was high again. Not good for the battery life on my Air.

Googled around and saw this:

Battery Drain Bug - Golden Gate Beta 2

The "fix" seems to have worked for me so far after a reboot. YMMV.

Thanks! Will look into that

Im having the same problem with my M5 MBP

I have that on M4 mini with since installing Beta 2 as well. Had one "out of memory" warning. Killing dasd brings things back to normal until it pops up again. Hope this is fixed in the next beta...

same here on my base M4 mini, got like three warnings about application memory but i ignored them for some reason. after looking at the activity monitor i saw the dasd process just casually sitting at 33 whole gigabytes of memory. guess ill just have to keep killing the process until beta 3 comes out and potentially fixes this

I keep getting a box pop up, saying out of application memory.

I have the same issues on the following devices:

M5 MacBook Pro 16GB RAM
M4 Mac mini 16GB RAM

However

My M1 MacBook Air 16GB RAM is not affected with dasd using only 10.1MB of RAM

Same issue on my 16GB M3 MBA. Just watched the dasd process climb all the way up to 10GB memory usage before the system finally did something about it
