The "free" command reports real memory util as used, shared, buffers and cached. But what are the definitions of the terms? There's no mention of them in the man pages for free, top, or vmstat.
It's been about a dozen years since I got my BS in CompSci, but my recollection is... used is used by user-space processes shared is used for shared memory segments buffers is used for kernel network and streams buffering cached is used for file system caching ? steve - - - _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
