Hello, On osol-b133 noticed that the first call to vmstat always yields a significantly different figure for freemem than the subsequent calls :
# vmstat 2 kthr memory page disk faults cpu r b w swap free re mf pi po fr de sr cd s0 -- -- in sy cs us sy id 0 0 23 199424 60264 9 61 9 14 29 0 749 8 -1 0 0 679 1652 1387 2 1 97 0 0 48 192448 80700 96 121 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 537 933 446 2 1 98 0 0 48 192368 81176 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 476 894 415 1 0 99 0 0 48 192368 81176 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 478 943 430 0 1 99 Furthermore, if I let one "vmstat 2" instance running in a shell, and launch a new one in another, the first call yields a different value than the one reported by the running one. I cannot but think that the value on the first line must be unaccurate, which would mean that the output of "vmstat" (without the time loop) is unaccurate. I do not see this behaviour in my linux vm guest (gentoo), which reports consistents values even in the first call. Is this behaviour expected ? Is it the same on other opensolaris builds, on SXCE, on solaris 10 ? Is there any obvious explanation I'm missing ?
