Webmin does not show correct memory usage
 
Hello,

I notice a difference between the memory usage shown by Webmin and by the command free -m

Webmin says :

Quote:
Real memory 3.83 GB total, 350.07 MB used
Free tells me :

Code:
[root@server at]# free -m
            total      used      free    shared    buffers    cached
Mem:          3923      1747      2176          0        245      1160
-/+ buffers/cache:        341      3581
Swap:        4031          0      4031
Which one is accurate (probably the command 'free') ?

Why does Webmin then not show correct memory usage ?

Thanks !

Hello,

my question actually is why there is such a difference between what free reports and what webmin reports ?

Have a read of this thread. There will be hundreds similar probably.
