It is not related to swap space. SwapTotal and SwapFree are fields related to swap space. Take a look under your kernel source directory the file Documention/filesystem/proc.txt for more info. > MemTotal - MemFree = amount of physical memory + swap space being > used = > amount of physical memory used (becoz swap space is 0 in this case) Again, MemTotal and MemFree are related to RAM memory (main memory) and not swap space. Have you checked if you have swap partition? Type 'cat /proc/swaps' on your terminal to verify if you have a swap partition.
