Alex and Rob,
Thanks for the replies.
It looks like the "buffers" value shown by "free" on SLES is the the sum
of the "Cached" and "SReclaimable" values from /proc/meminfo/, while on
RHEL it is just "Cached".
On SLES:
# egrep '^Cached|^SRe' /proc/meminfo;free
Cached: 130336 kB
SReclaimable: 17576 kB
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 1020416 318156 702260 0 11688 147912
...
On RHEL:
# egrep '^Cached|^SRe' /proc/meminfo;free
Cached: 36668 kB
SReclaimable: 25828 kB
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 245772 234828 10944 0 95568 36668
