Hi all, according to an article I read a while ago (but can't find now), FreeBSD memory is divided up into
I want this because I've been fiddling with RRDTool and have a small VM that is nicely graphing memory usage for me except for the buffers value.
- Active - memory used by applications.
- Inactive - memory that has been but still has data in it.
- Wired - memory used by the kernel that cannot be swapped out.
- Cache - memory used to cache data for applications.
- Buffers - memory used as a disk cache.
- Free - memory that is free to be used.
