<br>
I have rhel box with kernel 2.6, with 4 GB ram, I am expecting it to use<br>
most of the memory for disk cache and show very little memory as free,<br>
similar to other boxes.<br>
<br>
The cached size is only 818 MB, and free memory is 2661 MB, Any ideas why <br>
this machine is behaving differently than others.<br>
<br>
/proc/meminfo is below.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Sudhir Damle<br>
