Be aware that some distros have hacked their meminfo (proc and /sys/devices/system/node/node*/meminfo) output to be more compatible with recent 2.6 kernels but not updated to the new ZVC counter scheme. On those kernels (<2.6.17) counters may show weird values and the sum of the per node counters in sysfs may not yield the same amount shown in /proc/meminfo. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
