How accurate is top in 2.1-STABLE? Right now, its reporting: Memory: Real: 12100K/28304K Virt: 92540K/974292K Free: 5840K Now, looking at the output from 'systat -vmstat', I'm guessing that the 12100K is Active Memory (Memory in Use?)...but what is the 28304K? Mainly, my first inclination is that there is 18Meg that is not being used, for various reasons, yet I'm still swapping out 26meg... ...but I think I'm just reading this wrong :( Marc G.
