Your quoting style leaves something to be desired.

What exactly is this chart supposed to say? Are you asking about the
numbers not adding up?

What JPEG? This is probably either
(a) boot-time code dropping memory regions on the floor
(b) some misunderstanding about reporting in /proc/meminfo

This is also different from your other bugreport.

/proc/meminfo

[Roets, Chris (Tru64&Linux support)]

if you look at /proc/meminfo, what values to you need to add to each
other
to get to the total memory ?
ok, used and free (256241664  5042176),
but then how do you come to used :

Active + Inactive_dirty + Inactive_clean + ....
in the case below, I can't find where 57360 Kb are allocated to.
I looked ad slabinfo, but cold get to the total niether
Does anybody have the calculation to get to the total ?
Thanks,
Chris
