Mem: 2063808K av, 2048376K used, OR
Mem: 900940K av, 820660K used
I am a bit confused with the output of "top" and
asking for further explanation. Reading its manpage
did not clear this out for me.
Without any users but me, logged in, doing nothing,
Mandy 9.0 (2.4-19mdk)& Mandy 8.2 (2.4-18mdk)resp.
shows mem used as above, which suggests all mem. used
pretty much.
However, no single processes added up, total this used
memory.
How else can i explain this to myself?
How else can i find out actual memory used/free?
Interestingly, if and when i reboot, it starts out
with about 90% of that memory showing as free, as days
go by, it goes up, until "almost" mem_avail==mem_used,
then it stays constant until next reboot.
Yours Clueless,
Richard
[ PS. I dont experience such as a behavior on our
commercial Unix machines, is it unique to Linux? Mandy
