Thanks for the info about "Free Memory". That also links to another sub-thread regarding kernel memory space. If disk files are mapped into memory space, that would be a reason that the kernel could make use of address space larger that virtual memory (RAM+Swap).
Regarding showing stuff as Free when it is tracked and may be used, I would assume though that it would be abandoned if the memory is needed. Wouldn't the fact that it was sitting "Free" indicate that nothing needed memory? I also understand "Working set" as a page replacement algorithm, but that would make the disk light blink! These are all good things, I just don't see how they apply to the current situation, at least given the apparent information from vmstat and top! -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
