Webmin does not show correct memory usage

jonaskellens · 02-24-2012, 09:01 AM

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.
