Hi Folks,
Apologies if this appears a simple question but I'm a bit baffled. We
have a pair of firewalls, each with two units running as a HA pair via
CARP/PFSYNC etc.
All nodes use identical hardware, Nokia IP440's (Intel BX boards,
PIII6333Mhz CPU's, 256Mb RAM)
I have recently rebuilt one pair using 4.2, the others remaining at 4.1
for the moment. When I compare TOP on the primary nodes of the two
systems the amount of free memory shown is hugely different, see below:
Top From - 4.1
load averages: 0.29, 0.14, 0.10
11:34:33
26 processes: 25 idle, 1 on processor
CPU states: 0.0% user, 0.0% nice, 0.6% system, 0.6% interrupt, 98.8%
idle
Memory: Real: 13M/51M act/tot Free: 194M Swap: 0K/2048M used/tot
Top From - 4.2
load averages: 1.37, 0.65, 0.41
11:40:29
25 processes: 24 idle, 1 on processor
CPU states: 0.1% user, 0.0% nice, 0.7% system, 0.1% interrupt, 99.1%
idle
Memory: Real: 1632K/244M act/tot Free: 704K Swap: 7908K/2048M used/tot

When SSH'ing onto the 4.2 box is seems sluggish compared to the 4.1,
might be me though. Does the TOP output from the 4.2 box look OK and if
so where has the other 193Mb gone?
Thanks
Simon
