Server :: Calculate The Total Amount Of Memory Used By The System?
Jul 15, 2010I want to calculate the total amount of memory used by the system, Someone please confirm if the below formula is correct.Quote:
((memUsed-mebBuffers-memCached)*100)/memUsed => totalMemoryUsed%
Code:
free -o
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 8167004 8115292 51712 0 87680 1444676
Swap: 8388584 3252996 5135588
((8115292-87680-1444676)*100/8115292) => 81%
As per the above calculation 81% of memory is used.Is this correct? and if so Am I running out of memory?what is the limit in % that I should maintain for a better performance?
Programming :: Write A Script To Calculate The Total Amount Of Installed Memory?
Apr 4, 2011I am trying to write a script to calculate the total amount of installed memory to use during an anaconda kickscript, so the swap file is created at 2 x the installed memory. I so far have the amount of installed RAM DIMMS but need a way to total them up and produce a varible I can use in the pre section of the install.
Code:
dmidecode -t 17 | grep Size | awk ' { print $2 }'
Output:
2048
2048
Note: on some servers there could be from 1 DIMM up to 16 DIMMS installed so the script needs to be able to handle this. I also can not use bc as it does not exist during the install stage. I am guessing I need a while loop to do this and use expr but do not know where to start for this logic.
Software :: All Memory Being Consumed By Only A Few Processes?
Jan 25, 2010I recently built a new server, running 64 bit Slackware 13.0 with the following specs:
MSI 785GTM-E45
AMD Phenom II X2 550
2GB DDR2
Onboard video from AMD 785G chipset
2x 80GB IDE system drives using software RAID with 2GB swap partition
I only include these because I'm not convinced my problem is not hardware related at some level. Basically, when I first start up the system, the memory usage is anywhere from 60 to 200MB. Then it starts to gradually climb until there is only 12-15MB free. This can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days.
The only thing I really use this for is to serve Samba shares and the occasional SSH login. I've set up Samba shares to be accessed by my Windows machines as well as a Mac. Initially I just explored the network if I wanted to see the share from these machines, but that was too slow and unreliable (the server would not always show up in Windows), so now I automatically mount the share as a network drive at startup (from Windows). So I don't know if this would have anything to do with the steadily increasing memory usage. These systems are not on/connected all the time, but the memory usage seems to rise anyway.
When I run top, it reports that nearly all of the physical memory has been consumed (after a while of uptime), but none of the swap space has even been touched. This is a typical output of the first several lines, sorted by swap size:
Code:
top - 07:45:48 up 2 days, 12:33, 2 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
Tasks: 105 total, 1 running, 104 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie
Cpu(s): 0.0%us, 0.2%sy, 0.0%ni, 99.8%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st
[code]....
I can't be sure, but I believe the message just repeated itself before this part. MS-7549 is one of the components of the mainboard (MSI), maybe the northbridge or something (it seems to be associated with more than one model), so I thought for sure this meant a hardware problem, maybe with the storage controller or memory. But Memtest86 passes for more than a day without any errors, and I loaded Windows on one of the disks and ran it as hard as I could with prime95 and nothing so much as flinched. So I've got to think this is some kind of issue with linux and/or how it is handling my hardware configuration.

Sep 20, 2011I am analyzing memory usage on a Linux system. When I run vmstat -s, I see the following:
waffleman@waffle-iron:~$ vmstat -s
3549184 K total memory
3206708 K used memory
1918012 K active memory
1037320 K inactive memory
342476 K free memory
[Code]...
I know the system has 4096 MB of RAM installed, but why does it show only 3466 MB? Can this be interpreted as total "available" memory? Perhaps the missing 630 MB is being used by the kernel and cannot paged out?
I also tried this on on an Embedded Linux system and saw a similar result. The DRAM chip has 128 MB, but only 124 MB shows up in vmstat.
General :: Noticed That The Total Used Memory A Lot Higher Than Sum Of RSS?
Jul 9, 2010i got a RHEL 5.2 machine.and i noticed that the total used memory(as shown in "free" command) is 3GB higher thanthe sum of RSS size of all processes(collected using "ps aux").i know that its not suppose to be exact because RSS counts ultiple times shared memory (so actually it suppose to be higher than the used memory).the server runs apache which runs a pretty heavy php program.my suspicion is that its memory leak?

View 3 Replies View RelatedServer :: Calculate Memory Available If Needed On A System?
Jul 16, 2010I have set swappiness to 0:
# sysctl vm.swappiness
vm.swappiness = 0
According to various sources, this should mean that applications have priority over file chaches, and swap should only be used when the applications themselves need more memory than is physically available. So I naively took the value free provides in the '-/+ buffers/cache' line as 'free' as the amount of memory to be available on the server. Unfortunately this is not even close to true: On a server with 20GB RAM, memory utilization by this measure never reached 50%, yet the system swaps.
I then figured out that I could use 'sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches' to drop cached stuff. I was very surprised to still have 12.5 GB cached data after doing that. I am figuring that it's those 12.5 GB which force the system to start swapping. I also tried to use /proc/meminfo to figure out how that cached memory is used (by comparing its content before and after dropping caches). However, I don't see the correlation between the numbers provided there and what part of the cache can be dropped.
The closest match seems to be the 'Mapped' line, which was 10GB. I am pretty sure that being mmapped keeps the kernel from dropping cache. However, the value is 2.5 GB less than the cache which can't be dropped. So it is not the whole answer. What I am looking for is some way to determine how much memory the kernel could provide by dropping stuff if he needs to because of memory pressure. Is there maybe a way to simulate drop_caches without actually doing so?
The amount of potentially available memory does not have to be scientifically correct, but the number should at least be always in the right ballpark, which right now, it ain't... The point here is that it's a productive system. Sy doing stuff like dropping caches or filling memory until the system starts to swap is not a permanent solution to figure out the value. By the way, it turned out that postgres was the culprit in this concrete case, stopping it made dropping all caches possible, but that does not answer the general question of how to estimate available memory...
1. Is my assumption correct that I can subtract 'Mapped' from the freeable cache memory completely?
2. Where could the other 2.5 GB be used?
3. Is there a way to get a better guess of how much memory the system can free if necessary, before swap has to be used?
General :: Give Total Access To The System To A User Other Than Root?
Mar 9, 2011How can you give total access to the system to a user other than root?

* Add the user to the /etc/sudoers file.
I think none of these are correct answers.

Jul 24, 2009I have a few multi-user servers in an academic laboratory.

My servers are Dell Power Edge's running Ubuntu 8.10 Server Edition (Not my choice). I would like to set a maximum limit on the amount of ram a user can utilize. This morning I experimented with setting limits via /etc/security/limits.conf and using ulimit. Neither of them prevented my test program, a simple infinite loop of mallocs, from crashing the server.

Fedora Installation :: F13 Install Consumed Entire HD?
May 28, 2010I had no problems installing the F13 DVD, but when I chose to install it across a 160 GB and 250 GB hard drives, it happily used both of them for the system and left me 40 GB of storage to play with.... at least I think that is what happened. I kind of had the opposite in mind. I know I could have installed it on one and used the other drive for a separate storage location, but for me, it's just easier to have one big storage/system volume and not have to worry about paths and /dev/sdb/images stuff

View 2 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Looping Through Csv File To Calculate Avg/min/max?
Sep 1, 2010I have a csv file (id, loc, timestamp, impressions) that I need to derive some low-level calculations from. Im ok with basic sort and grep operations, but this one is challenging my feeble scripting skills (normally I�d throw it into a spreadsheet, but in this case Id like to ultimately create a script that I could automate). Ive already used cat/sort to order the csv file first on location and then timestamp so it looks like this:
Abt001, AA, 2009-01-01 10:51:00, 231
Cup002, AA, 2009-01-01 10:54:00, 3
Saf001, AB, 2009-01-01 10:51:00, 25
[code]....
What Id like to do is output to file a record of the total, min, and max number of impressions for each location. , e.g.
AA6504 3231
AB252525
AC37925109
ZZ35512341
how to do this and Im kind of stuck on how to approach it I think the combined steps of looping through the locations along with the min/max/sum calculations are throwing me. Eventually Id also like to do additional calculations like average, ect. but I think I can figure that out on my own if I can just get this part down.
