Hi Bill,

To avoid confusion: does your comment apply to commit a88d81f1144e ("NET-SNMP-SYSTEM-MIB, Linux: Update calculation of free space") only or also to commit 4e3ace87b566 ("NET-SNMP-SYSTEM-MIB: Account reclaimable space")?

Thanks,

Bart.

There's a long history of telling people "You're polling a Linux system, you have to know that you subtract buffers and cached from physical before you report free memory" in the HOST-RESOURCES-MIB.  I'm not against simplifying, but - if people have data collection set up for "the old way", where you have to subtract buffers and cached after collecting them, then this change will result in double-subtraction.

In Arista EOS we handled this by adding another row to the table, to avoid breaking existing data collection when someone upgrades.
