How to account for memory in Redhat Linux
Hello,
RH ES ver 3.5,
#free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 6015 5984 30 0 270 3032
-/+ buffers/cache: 2681 3333
Swap: 4094 2439 1655
from this,
Total RAM = 6GB, used = 5.9GB,Free = 30MB
Memroy used by all processess
ps -aux|gawk '{print $4}'|awk '{print s+=$1}'
total %MEM = 51.3
from free -m it says only 30MB free, ps - aux shows, only 51.3 % is used, so
Where is the restof the memory ?
Thanks
ps -aux|gawk '{print $4}'|awk '{print s+=$1}'

Re: How to account for memory in Redhat Linux
Linux dynamically manages the buffer cache.
It stores a lot of data read from the hard disk in RAM.
So total memory consumption = memory taken by process + memory given to caches
The amount of mem given to cache is dynamic i.e when you start a new process the buffer cache will be shrinked and new process will be given that memory.
This all is done to increase the speed of system.
