/proc/meminfo gives a decent summary.
To watch your ZONE_NORMAL disappearing it would be better to monitor /proc/zoneinfo. There you'll see `free', `active', `inactive' and `present'. In /proc/meminfo you'll find the slab utilisation.
It should be approximately true that free+active+inactive+slab = present. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
