Innodb buffer pool size filling up

[machiel.richards]

Good day all

 

                I hope that someone can help me out.

 

                We have a MySQL database where the INNODB_BUFFER_POOL_SIZE
keeps on filling up.

                If the database is restarted, the buffer pool is cleared,
however from there it just starts filling up again until 100% full.

 

                We tried increasing the value however the same just happens
over again, it starts getting used more and more until it is 100% full.

 

 

                Does anybody know how we can get this resolved to first of
all determine why this is happening now and second of all how it can be
fixed / cleared regularly.

 

 

Regards

Machiel
