Well, Now I get the info with sar comes the problem to understand the results. Allways I try to see the real used memory in linux I have the same problem, it seems that it´s using ALL the memory. with sar -r: kbmemfree kbmemused %memused kbbuffers kbcached kbswpfree kbswpused %swpused kbswpcad 12:55:01 408540 3740728 90,15 391560 1191012 4096200 332 0,01 48 my system has 4GB and it looks it has 3,7G in use, but I don´t think it´s true. with the free -m command: free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 4052 3705 346 0 384 1217 -/+ buffers/cache: 2103 1948 Swap: 4000 0 4000 the result is the same, but I have heard that the real free memory is the in the colum free in the -/+ buffers/cache, is it true? with vmstat as Manuel suggests: vmstat -s -S m 4248 m total memory 3907 m used memory 2992 m active memory 738 m inactive memory 341 m free memory 404 m buffer memory 1289 m swap cache 4194 m total swap 0 m used swap 4194 m free swap .... what is command I get other results so how many memory are free on my system :-( ?
