I am trying to calculate total memory in FreeBSD. I know of the five basic
memory states, but I always seem to be missing between 3MB and 15MB.

The memory info I am getting is from sysctl and;

vm.stats.vm.v_inactive_count
vm.stats.vm.v_cache_count
vm.stats.vm.v_free_count
vm.stats.vm.v_page_size
vm.stats.vm.v_page_count

Right now on a machine with 768MB of RAM I am showing 752.71MB using
(vm.stats.vm.v_page_count + vm.stats.vm.v_page_size).

Can someone tell me what I am missing? Might this have something to do with
vm.stats.vm.v_cache_count?


Thanks,

Erin
