Hi, I have a question, top on freebsd displays active, inactive and wired memory. Since kernel memory has to be non-pageable isn't it that user process resident memory should be active + inactive? However I see some discrepancy. For eg. active is 34M, inactive 116M. top -s 100 gives me resident sizes of all processes, if I sum them up it comes to about 75M. So where is the rest of 116+34-75 = 75M? thanks kapil
