Kernel size

smsundar · 08-24-2006, 01:29 AM

Hi Friends

1) What is the range of the running kernel stack in main memory?

2) How can you find out size of kernel sapce and user space in your main memory?

3) How to find the avialable kernel / user space and used kernel / user space? is there any shell command to see that?

Any idea? Please lets share.

Well, the only thing I've used for user space stuff is free -lm. The line

Code:

-/+ buffers/cache:      58   699

shows the user space RAM free used and free. The top three lines are showing ram that's cached, etc, so they don't matter much to me. The bottom one is SWAP of course and has never been anything other than 0 used and 509 free.

Since the user space RAM line doesn't add up to all my RAM, I just assume the kernel is using whatever else...

Constent?
