Subject:   I have Inactive Memory?! not just free..but inactive
Message-ID:  <20020831061817.GA12937@houston.rr.com>

heres a little snippet from my 'top':
"Mem: 151M Active, 194M Inact, 69M Wired, 24M Cache, 61M Buf, 62M Free"

Y? Why is 194M inactive? I'm not too familiar with the other categories, but 'inactive'sends a tingle up my spine

Is inactive memory similar to reserved memory?

Also from 'top':
"CPU states:  0.0% user,  0.0% nice,  0.0% system,  0.0% interrupt,  0.0% idle"

Now, I've posted a query on my weird cpu usage/monitoring, but no one seemed to care less, or have any opinions on the matter
Question, Does the 'GENERIC' kernel conf omit any cpu-monitoring options? If so, what should i do to remedy this?

Sorry about the excessive amount of spaces, but i just received an email from freebsd.org requesting that questions should be posted this way.
Hope this doesn't turn anyone off

Sincerely, BSD enthusiast
