I understand that my system actually sees the correct amount of physical memory. However, what I don't understand is why gkrellm suddenly began reporting an erroneous amount. The funniest part is that the amount changes after every reboot. It initially was saying 320M with some amount under 320 free. Now it says 3542M of 320 free ;-) What I really want to know is where gkrellm gets its info and why its reporting doesn't work with 4.3-stable. I depend on gkrellm to keep an eye on the state of my system. Abe --- Mike Smith <msmith@freebsd.org> wrote: > > You're totally misunderstanding what the various > numbers mean.
