Top and Free are rather useless for "where does my memory go". They show you "how much is left" which generally should be zero as the system fills up all that is left with caches and it is good that it does so.
Therefore Top/Free are really not the tools to look for memory consumption. It always depends how deep you want to go, take a look here and pick whatever suits you. https://share.confex.com/share/123/webprogram/Handout/Session15754/Tools-V6-ShareDesign.pdf So many years and still mostly applies :-) The two recommendations of /proc/meminfo and smem are a good entry point for you I'd think. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1892648 Title: VM eating twice the memory allocated To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu/+bug/1892648/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
