Hi everyone.

I'm using OS 2006 and the built-in Memory app gives me weird data for device memory usage. It seems kind of inaccurate. It claims:

13% used
Storage memory in use: 7.85 MB
Storage memory available: 50.2 MB

First of all, that's more like 15.6 percent, but whatever.

The problem is that it goes on to provide a categorized list of what's using the memory up, including:

Installed applications: 14.9 MB
Video clips: 2.59 MB
Audio clips: 4.77 MB
etc.

Wait a minute... that adds up to more than 7.85 MB!! What gives? Anyone else have this annoying problem? Is there any way to get more accurate info?

I did a df -h but unfortunately had trouble interpreting the results. I assume the /dev/mtdblock4 mounted at / (123.5M, 52.6M free) corresponds to the internal flash memory.
