[rhn-users] Memory usage on rhel box

[Sudhir Damle]

Hello, 

I have rhel box with kernel 2.6, with 4 GB ram, I am expecting it to use
most of the memory for disk cache and show very little memory as free,
similar to other boxes. 

The cached size is only 818 MB, and free memory is 2661 MB, Any ideas why
this machine is behaving differently than others.

/proc/meminfo is below.


Thanks, 

Sudhir Damle
