Unlike Linux, you can't look at the line in 'top' to see how much memory is being used for buffers and cache. You can find more information about the VM architecture at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/arch-handbook/vm.html . -- Bruce Cran _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
