Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="------------07D11B886CDB1F3C5EFF9CB2" Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------07D11B886CDB1F3C5EFF9CB2 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi, is it normal that the size of /proc/kcore grows over time? Directly after a boot it has the size of the physical memory. Over time it seems to grow slightly. In about a day it went from 192 MB to about 203 MB. This is 2.4.4-ac6 running on a Toshiba Notebook. I ask, because I thought the size of kproc could be used to determine the amount of physical memory. If this assumption is wrong, is there another way to achive the goal?
