Hello, I have to report the amount of FreeMem on my embedded system. The rootfs is in RAM. I use /proc/meminfo. I started by doing : freemem = MemFree + Buffers + Cached But I realized (tell me if I'm wrong) that my rootfs filesystems is counted in "Cached". Part of the memory in "Cached" can be allocated, so I should add it as Free Memory, but part of it is my rootfs (i.e. really used). How should I compute freemem ?
Note that with linux 2.4 (initrd and not initramfs) I did use the ioctl BLKGETSIZE in order to subtract the amount of memory used by the rootfs. But now with initramfs it's dynamic.
Thanks, Greg _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-embedded mailing list Linuxppc-embedded@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-embedded
