There are a handful of userspace processes taking ~20MB. Obviously I expect the kernel to take up some memory, but 650 megs? Is there I way I can find out where all of that memory went? If knfsd is hoarding (no other box has this much unaccounted for), is there a way to tweak it at runtime? Are there 'safe' things to adjust at compile time?
