Synopsis: Memory leak in 3.4-STABLE .? State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: dg State-Changed-When: Sun Mar 19 20:39:32 PST 2000 State-Changed-Why: The numbers above are simply the page queue totals and don't indicate whether the memory is 'free' or not. FreeBSD tries to use any available memory for file caching. If the system needs it for something else (e.g. process memory), then the system will reclaim some pages for that. There currently isn't a way to tell the difference between process memory pages and file cache pages, since internally they are basically the same thing. The bottom line is that there isn't a bug here and this PR should be closed. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
