Hi all, Below is part of the 'top' display from one of my servers. Note that it is sorted on Memory and that the top few use only 1.1% of memory, yet the summary at the top would indicate that about 90% or more of memory was in use.
Can anyone give me some possible reasons / fixes for this or am I just reading it wrong? 7:47am up 22 days, 18:29, 1 user, load average: 0.12, 0.07, 0.01 139 processes: 138 sleeping, 1 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped CPU states: 0.7% user, 0.3% system, 0.0% nice, 98.8% idle Mem: 771132K av, 760852K used, 10280K free, 5740K shrd, 222472K buff Swap: 522072K av, 5992K used, 516080K free 166472K cached PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND 29455 nlazo 9 0 8868 8868 1036 S 0.0 1.1 0:00 aucemail 1004 mysql 9 0 8164 8164 2312 S 0.0 1.0 0:27 mysqld 1018 mysql 8 0 8164 8164 2312 S 0.0 1.0 0:21 mysqld 1019 mysql 9 0 8164 8164 2312 S 0.0 1.0 2:38 mysqld 1020 mysql 9 0 8164 8164 2312 S 0.0 1.0 0:00 mysqld 27344 apache 9 0 7488 7488 7000 S 0.0 0.9 0:00 httpd 27345 apache 9 0 7488 7488 7000 S 0.0 0.9 0:00 httpd 27338 apache 9 0 7384 7384 7000 S 0.0 0.9 0:00 httpd 27341 apache 8 0 7384 7384 7000 S 0.0 0.9 0:00 httpd 27343 apache 8 0 7384 7384 7000 S 0.0 0.9 0:00 httpd 27337 apache 9 0 7380 7380 7032 S 0.0 0.9 0:00 httpd 27342 apache 9 0 7380 7380 7000 S 0.0 0.9 0:00 httpd 27346 apache 9 0 7380 7380 7000 S 0.0 0.9 0:00 httpd 28333 apache 9 0 7380 7380 7028 S 0.0 0.9 0:00 httpd -- Simon Bryan IT Manager OLMC Parramatta -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
