Re: memory eating



What I don't understand is why he physical memory is full. Do you meant that is it not full on reality ?

Thanks.

The memory is just going to the disk cache. The system will release it
if something actually needs it. Otherwise, free memory gets used as
cache. There doesn't appear to be any evidence it's swapping.
