First, you'll need a precise definition of what you mean by "free memory".

Free physical memory available.


Add the "-H" flag to get that value more precise. I suspect, however,
that precision isn't really the right term for what you're after.

I caught the -H flag right after I wrote the mail. The result has to be
multiplied by 1024.

It's possible you're right but what I am trying to do is to monitor the amount
of free physical memory still on the system.

To make a long story short, I am in a long stretch in trying to find out why 8-STABLE amd64+VBox+nvidia driver is freezing my system to power button point.


I'm also seeing something similar although perhaps not related to (lack of) free memory. Are you able to enable debugging in the kernel and maybe get a (text)dump?

Have you seen:

and
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/admin.html#FREE-MEMOR
Y-AMOUNT by any chance?


Those were nice, Thanks.

I've sent a couple of textdumps to one of the FreeBSD VirtualBox devs but haven't heard back just yet.
