Hi all,
Running an Ubuntu Natty where I launched 3 Xubuntu and 1 win 7, I cat see:
/sys/kernel/mm/ksm/full_scans: 34
/sys/kernel/mm/ksm/pages_shared: 8020
/sys/kernel/mm/ksm/pages_sharing: 36098
/sys/kernel/mm/ksm/pages_to_scan: 100
/sys/kernel/mm/ksm/pages_unshared: 247109
/sys/kernel/mm/ksm/pages_volatile: 32716
/sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run: 1
/sys/kernel/mm/ksm/sleep_millisecs: 200
I would like to evaluate the memory amount:
How many byte is a page?

RMA.

Typically, unless you use hugepages, a page is 4 KiB = 4096 Byte.

I wrote a bash script which calculates the KSM savings. I have posted it here:
https://gist.github.com/1206923
I can not guarantee its accuracy. It was the best I could do with the
knowledge I had. The results seem reasonable to me though.
Hope this is useful to someone.
