Hi Luvers,

I have a cloud server from a cloud provider thats supposed to have 1Gb allocated ram, but its only showing 761Mb (using free -m)

XXX@XXXX:~# free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 761 668 92 0 6 183 -/+ buffers/cache: 478 283 Swap: 1023 25 998

Any reason why?

Cheers, Daniel

Hi Daniel, Looks weird to me. free uses base 1024 by default, you can make it use base 1000 with the --si switch. Here's a vps that was advertised to me as having 512m of ram: $ free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 496 382 114 0 34 191 -/+ buffers/cache: 157 339 Swap: 967 8 959 $ free -m --si total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 508 392 116 0 35 196 -/+ buffers/cache: 161 347 Swap: 991 8 982
