I can make sense of most of the information contained in /proc/meminfo like total memory, buffers, cache etc. Could you tell me what do the less obvious ones like the ones listed below mean?
If anyone is wondering, I am talking about the output of the linux command cat /proc/meminfo
The canonical source of this information is /usr/src/linux/Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt. Specifically,
AnonPages: Non-file backed pages mapped into userspace page tables Mapped: files which have been mmaped, such as libraries Slab: in-kernel data structures cache NFS_Unstable: NFS pages sent to the server, but not yet committed to stable storage Bounce: Memory used for block device "bounce buffers" VmallocTotal: total size of vmalloc memory area VmallocUsed: amount of vmalloc area which is used VmallocChunk: largest contigious block of vmalloc area which is free
