Hi All,
I have a server who's memory keeps going Yellow:
Mon Oct 15 14:50:27 PDT 2007 - Memory low
Memory Used Total Percentage
green Physical 7820M 8055M 97%
yellow Actual 7341M 8055M 91%
green Swap 0M 8055M 0%
And so it is; these numbers do match the `free` numbers. But it's not really all being used, it's just the way Linux works.
I'm really only using ~1.5 Gb of 8 and the rest is 'Slab' - which is kept around by the kernel as a cache. But I have no Swap used so we're good.
So how do I get Hobbit to see that and relax (not go to Yellow) until we start using Swap?
