hey,
here are my mount points:
6_days_uptime_machine ~ # mount
/dev/evms/root on / type ext3 (rw,noatime)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,nosuid)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec)
/dev/evms/boot on /boot type ext3 (rw,noatime)
/dev/evms/data on /data type ext3 (rw,noatime,data=journal)
/dev/evms/queue on /mnt/queue type ext3 (rw,noatime)
none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
/dev on /opt/bizanga/chroot/dev type none (rw,bind)
usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,devmode=0664,devgid=85)
binfmt_misc on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc
(rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
so shmfs is never used, but tmpfs is for /dev and /dev/shm. Do you
think that would be an issue ?
and it looks like i'm not using any shared mem either :
6_days_uptime_machine ~ # ipcs -a
------ Shared Memory Segments --------
key shmid owner perms bytes nattch status
------ Semaphore Arrays --------
key semid owner perms nsems
------ Message Queues --------
key msqid owner perms used-bytes messages
And i've also checked that all /dev entries are devices. Thanks for the tip.
After Ryk's email, i started looking a little more closely to the
other values in /proc/meminfo and /proc/zoneinfo and i would like to
have more information about zoneinfo. It seems that most of the
inactive pages are in HighMem :
active 148512
inactive 403735
scanned 0 (a: 0 i: 0)
and what does the scanned line mean ? And what about the fact that
it's all 0 ? Means that it's never been scanned for reclaimable space
? Maybe that's where my problem lies !? Any more info on those proc
entries would be greatly appreciated. My friend google didn't have a
lot of good answers, neither did the Kernel documentation.
