To the request of one of my users, I installed the 'hinv' program (1.4pre1) by Larry McVoy. Problem: it detects the memory amount in the box by stat'ing /proc/kcore. Thats not the problem, but that the box has 1Gb of memory, and kcore is just 896Mb big. Kernel is built with 4Gb support: annwn:/proc# free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 1033172 1017772 15400 0 164792 556416 -/+ buffers/cache: 296564 736608 Swap: 1951856 8 1951848 annwn:/proc# hinv Main memory size: 896 Mbytes ... annwn:/proc# ll /proc/kcore -r-------- 1 root root 939528192 Jan 12 10:02 /proc/kcore Exactly the same as a box that has _really_ 896 Mb: werewolf:/proc# ll kcore -r-------- 1 root root 939528192 Jan 12 10:02 kcore werewolf:/proc# free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 905012 276008 629004 0 27268 109344 -/+ buffers/cache: 139396 765616 Swap: 345356 0 345356 BUG ?
