 Posted: Fri Jan 21, 2005 5:09 am Post subject: UML - swap memory usage |
 |
|
Why does it seem that my UML does is not using its swap space?
The memory usage drops down to just 1M yet tools such as
top and free never indcate that any swap space is ever being used.
I provide the UML with a 512M swap_fs file and swapon -s
seems to indicate that its available.
Thanks,
Buggy |

Examine the second line of output in the "free" column - that gives you the real amount of free memory, without taking disk caches and buffers into account.
