|
|
Hi, I am a little bit confused about my memory usage. I don't know if it is about xen virtualization and it can be a silly question to ask but when I type the top at linux shell, it says I am using 340 mb memory and I have 360 mb total memory by the way. And I just host only one web site now which its traffic is zero right now.
I am attaching my screenshot of top:
To make things short, is there anything wrong with this or is it normal?
Thanks very much. |

Thanks for the quick replay. Now I understand the logic behind it. |

type
free -m
in your shell it'll show something like this
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 348 339 8 0 29 215
-/+ buffers/cache: 94 253
Swap: 255 8 247
Tends to be easier than top. (In my case I'm using 94MB). |

Don't forget swap, technically you're using 102MiB. |

Memory hog!!!
Code: % free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 348 280 68 0 8 240
-/+ buffers/cache: 30 318
Swap: 256 4 252
I built my linode when it was still a linode64. Now it's a linode360 I have all that extra memory... but no need to change my software :-) |

Damn that's an old node, what OS are you running on that? I think my ubuntu 9.10 runs around 30mb with nothing extra installed. |

| Ah yes, mine was a 64 too! Good times. It's still rocking and rolling, although now it's a 720. |

I haven't used CentOS 4 in a few years, maybe if I find I have some spare time on my hands I'll crank up a new node and have a play. :) |
