I'm trying to reduce the amount of available memory on a Dell R710. It has 48GB installed, I want to be able to boot it with 8G and 16G for some of my benchmarks.
I've modified my /etc/grub.conf file, copying the top section and adding to the end of the kernel line as follows: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-348.3.1.el5 ro root=LABEL=/ mem=8G My problem is that with the "mem=8G" option, "free -g" reports 6G. With mem=16G, "free -g" reports 9G. What am I missing?
