Linux mem usage includes disk cache #127

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. use the "Physical memory used (Bar)"
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to see actual memory used.
What I see is my memory appearing to be all used up after a few hours,
when really it's just the disk cache. The memory is still free for applications.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.0.29 Fedora 64bit

Please provide any additional information below.
If I look at memory usage in my system monitor I can see how much ram is really 
used.  Would be great if the Physical memory used (Bar) didn't include the disk 
cache, as that memory although it is technically used, is actually free for 
applications ect.
