Subject: Very high "cached" value
Date: Tue, 30 Oct 2001 08:35:47 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3BDE5853.540BCCA5@TeraPort.de> (raw)

Hi,

 running 2.4.13-ac4+preempt, I found a rather strange xosview display
this morning, complaining about a negative field. Inspection of
/proc/meminfo gives a pretty unlikely value for "cached":

/home/martink> cat /proc/meminfo

 This is on a Toshiba 7200 Notebook with 320 MB and about twice as much
swap.
