Memory usage after copying
Hello,
I'm running Samba 3 on a Fedora Core 1-System (Dual PII-400, 1GB ECC-RAM, 6x18 GB HDDs). I just copied about 1,5 GB datas via network to the server. I noticed that the memory usage was nearly 100 percent. I guess thats okay, because of the buffered write-method. But when the copying finished I still had about 10 MB of free mem. What's wrong? Are there any tools, help me freeing up mem? Thanks Holger |
Nothing is wrong.
Linux caches things and keeps them in RAM until other things need the memory. Linux tries to be very effecient and as such tries to use all your RAM What is the point of having RAM if you are not going to use it? |
