ServerXX:~ # free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 12008 11978 30 0 216 11175
-/+ buffers/cache: 587 11421
Swap: 10236 4567 5668
It appears then Linux uses lot of memory as "cached" such as 1175 MB
in this case, which is nothing but free Memory reserved for other
process utilization. Is there any limits for cached/buffer part?
