It's probably mostly block I/O cache. When data is read off disc it is kept in RAM because reading from disc is very slow. Over time, more and more will accrue in the RAM, ready for reuse if those files' data are needed again. Given enough time, most of your RAM will be used for this. This is not a performance problem - it is an advantage, because it maximises your chance of having the data _already_ in RAM when it is next desired. It is also not a problem for having to "make RAM available" when it is needed for something else. Data read from a file and stored in a memory buffer is "clean" data - it is that same as what is on disc, and so does not need to be put back there. Such a buffer may be _instantly_ discarded and used for another purpose. So most of this "used RAM" is "clean", so it is as though it were all unused, should more memory be needed.

It is complex and for the most part poorly designed, inconsistent, and poorly documented. - David Korn -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
