I was hoping someone could help me. I have a system with 128 meg. of memory but I believe Linux only sees half of it and the rest is wasted.
Here's an output from 'top' 53 processes: 51 sleeping, 1 running, 0 zombie, 1 stopped CPU states: 33.2% user, 11.8% system, 0.0% nice, 55.0% idle Mem: 64236K av, 40180K used, 24056K free, 10932K shrd, 2548K buff Swap: 130748K av, 28484K used, 102264K free 14476K cached PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT LIB %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND 1262 erniep 14 0 744 744 572 R 0 23.7 1.1 0:01 top 601 root 10 0 1932 1128 672 S 0 14.2 1.7 0:11 kvt 350 root 4 0 9184 4216 568 S 0 7.1 6.5 1:51 XF86_Mach64 1 root 0 0 112 76 56 S 0 0.0 0.1 0:02 init 2 root 0 0 0 0 0 SW 0 0.0 0.0 0:00 kflushd 3 root -12 -12 0 0 0 SW< 0 0.0 0.0 0:00 kswapd Notice my Mem: av says 64236K available, 40180K used, 24056K free. I'm missing 64 meg. Am I wrong? What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance. --ernie :^) "------------------------------------------------------------" " My work... ** " " Seismic imaging software *II* ** " " ** *IIII* *II* " " My hobby... ** * * *** " " Linux programming ** " "------------------------------------------------------------"
