Context: I'm running 4.9 stable as a desktop machine. Right after a fresh reboot most of the system memory shows up as Free (using top). Then, after a few hours of work... running X, web browsers, and the like, most appears in Inact.
My question is... after I shut down all programs, ctrl alt backspace X, and get back to a terminal, why does top still show all the memory just freed by my desktop programs as inactive?
Please see my attached top_output.txt. You'll notice that after adding up all the memory in the programs that are still running, the total doesn't come close to reaching 308M Inact.
Thanks, Micah _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
