Hi, We're running freebsd 5-4 release and notice that an idle system's free = memroy keeps decreasing. The system has 1 GB memory and the free mem = starts at ~700M and goes down steadily until it hits 2M and stays there. = After that bringing up more apps on the system doesn't seem to make the = free memory any smaller. I checked top and vmstat -m, vmstat -z and = can't see where all that memory is going. Does freebsd use memory for = disk caching that is not accounted for in these stats? Thanks in advance for any help. Roselyn
