Re: Kernel 2.6.9 Doesn't release Buffer and Cached Memory?

It's perfectly normal :) Buffers and caches uses up whatever RAM you aren't using. You should look at the 2nd line to see how much memory you're actually using, not counting buffers and cache.

It's been working this way for a long time :)

Hi all
I'm running FC2 with the latest 2.6.9-1.6_FC2smp Kernel, but it seems
that it doesn't release buffer and  cached memory so that memory used
under sar -r shows memory used is always 90% +, is this something new
or a bug?

            total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:          1009        977         32          0        222        610
-/+ buffers/cache:        144        865
Swap:         2000          0       2000


Many thanks,

Yang
