如何在输出中描述或解释“缓冲区” free
?
我对该系统没有任何(已知)问题。我只是感到惊讶和奇怪,看到“缓冲区”几乎与“缓存”一样高(155M与180M)。我认为“缓存”代表文件内容的页面缓存,并且往往是“缓存/缓冲区”的最重要部分。我不太清楚什么是“缓冲区”。
例如,我将其与具有更多RAM的笔记本电脑进行了比较。在我的笔记本电脑上,“缓冲区”数字比“缓存”(200M与4G)小一个数量级。如果我对什么是“缓冲区”有一个正确的了解,那么我可以开始问为什么在较小的系统上缓冲区可能会增长到如此大的比例。
man proc
(我忽略了“大”的荒谬定义):
缓冲液%lu
相对临时存储的原始磁盘块不应太大(20MB左右)。
缓存%lu
从磁盘读取的文件的内存中缓存(页面缓存)。不包括SwapCached。
