Regarding this issue, I have a similar problem if I do a free on my system I
get :
--- total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 1157444 1148120 9324 0 22080 459504
-/+ buffers/cache: 666536 490908
Swap: 641016 19072 621944
---
Now what I do a ps there seems no way to accound for the 500mb + of memory
used. No single or group of processes uses that amount of memory. THis is
very disconcerting, coupled with extremely high loads when cache is dumped to
disk locking up the machine makes me want to move back to 2.2.19 from 2.4.3.
I would also be curious to see how the kernel is using memory...
TIA
MARCin
