I am seeing a weird memory usage on my linode.

On my linode, even after I stopped mysqld and apache, I'm getting a high memory usage.

The output from "free -m" looks like this:

Code:
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:           348        290         57          0         15        246
-/+ buffers/cache:         28        320
Swap:          255          0        255


290M for an idle VPS? That's really weird. Anyone got any insight?[/code]

That's entirely normal, 246 megs of ram are being used for disk cache as shown in that output you have there.

As you run new processes and applications they will displace that cached memory.


EDIT: Beat me to the punch. Ha.
