Hi,
How can I track where/who is using the system memory?
I have a 2GB (RAM) system running Freebsd 5.4, basically as a mail
gateway.
After a few hours up, TOP shows me about 300MB of free memory. No
swap yet.
But the sum of RSS column of "ps axum", gives me about 600MB used.
I know that kernel allocated memory doesn´t show in ps, but I
think it´s not using 1.4GB.
The head of top is like this:
last pid: 7323; load averages: 1.49, 1.11, 1.30 up 4+05:57:30 19:01:05
184 processes: 1 running, 183 sleeping
CPU states: 16.7% user, 0.0% nice, 3.5% system, 0.6% interrupt, 79.3% idle
Mem: 333M Active, 1218M Inact, 157M Wired, 42M Cache, 112M Buf, 256M Free
Swap: 8192M Total, 8192M Free
Also, why there is a difference between free memory reported by
top and vmstat?
Could it have some memory leak? Is there any report of it in
freebsd 5.x?
Thank you,
- Marcelo
