You're not subtracting buffered and cached data. Linux aggressively buffers written data and caches read data for potential future use. This data is easily evicted from ram (usually without requiring anything to be written to more permanent storage), thus not negatively affecting performance. For various reasons, Linux's accounting of how much ram is in use isn't quite accurate, but you'll get a much closer number by running 'free' in the terminal and looking at the "-/+ buffers/cache" line. --tim _______________________________________________ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
