Hello there.

Ive got a few questions. - And sorry if im putting this topic in a wrong section.

Mine says:
Ram-Used: 151.1
Ram-Free: 88.7

These are the code ive used:

RAM used:

awk '/mT/ {memttl = $2}; /mF/ {memfre = $2}; /Bu/ {membff = $2}; $1 == "Cached:" {memcch = $2} END {printf ("%.1f MB\n",(memttl-memfre-membff-memcch)/1024)}' /proc/meminfo

RAM free:

awk '/mF/ {memfre = $2}; /Bu/ {membff = $2}; $1 == "Cached:" {memcch = $2} END {printf ("%.1f MB\n",(memfre+membff+memcch)/1024)}' /proc/meminfo

What were you expecting? Are you concerned by any of the values? (If my N900 outputted those values I wouldn't be worried).

However, note that: 151.1 + 88.7 = ~240 = size of rootfs NAND, so I believe that script/whatever should say 'rootfs' instead of Ram. N900 has 256MB RAM.

Perhaps an expert can confirm or correct what I just said.

Edit: please consider choosing more descriptive titles for your threads (so everyone doesn't have to read the thread to answer the obvious question "is what normal?")

There is a good short description of rootfs on the wiki. Feel free to ask more questions if you'd like (if I can't answer, chances are someone smarter than me will stop by and help).

To choose a better subject, using the fewest possible number of words, ask a short form of your actual question, so maybe "Desktop widget free memory values: do these look OK?" instead of the slightly generic "Help!" or whatever

Hint: you can also edit a thread title after you started the thread by editing Post#1 in that thread.

Thank you it helps others help you and also helps other people find information which could be useful to them later (and maybe helps you find it later, too).

Also, don't forget the thanks button that way we can measure who is most helpful... or at least who writes the most posts on which people clicked 'Thanks!'
