[I sent this once, but hub was in an altered state at the time
and I never saw the posting...]
Here is a bit of cut-n-paste from a "systat -vmstat" display on my
2.2.6-stable machine with 64MB ram and 128MB swap:
Mem:KB REAL VIRTUAL VN PAGER SWAP PAGER
Tot Share Tot Share Free in out in out
Act 17980 2376 3825328 3608 7996 count 3 1
All 64072 5612 815324 17140 pages 15 3
What is wrong with this picture? Does the 3825328 seem ever so
slightly whacked? This has been a curiosity for quite some time,
in fact I think it might even pre-date my upgrade from 2.2.5 to
2.2.6.
Oddly enough, top(1) reports a reasonable figure for the same
parameter. The output of vmstat(8) is whacked in the same way as
systat(1) though.
dmesg says:
real memory = 67108864 (65536K bytes)
avail memory = 63660032 (62168K bytes)
Clues? Where should I start looking?
