Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org is this a bug? We have a number of machines running 2.4.0 and /proc/meminfo says we're sharing no memory. top says that also, probably because it just reads /proc/meminfo, or at least I assume that's how it works. All the individual procs show the memory they are sharing though. thanks, Ian Here is /proc/meminfo: total: used: free: shared: buffers: cached: Mem: 261734400 251297792 10436608 0 12423168 124805120 Swap: 279650304 24297472 255352832 MemTotal: 255600 kB MemFree: 10192 kB MemShared: 0 kB Buffers: 12132 kB Cached: 121880 kB Active: 91308 kB Inact_dirty: 38136 kB Inact_clean: 4568 kB Inact_target: 1436 kB HighTotal: 0 kB HighFree: 0 kB LowTotal: 255600 kB LowFree: 10192 kB SwapTotal: 273096 kB SwapFree: 249368 kB - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
