SubjectMemory, where's it going?
Date
I have a server with 8GB of RAM thats running 2.6.14.3 with the UML Ska's 3 
Patch. It seams the system is eating more and more memory everyday but i
cant seam to figure out where it's going.

I free shows the following...
[root@hostXXX ~]# free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 8312484 8040500 271984 0 120664 7734420
-/+ buffers/cache: 185416 8127068
Swap: 4192924 2500 4190424

I see that free shows that 7.7GB is cached and i'm not sure why so much is
cached.

When running through a ps auxf grabbing VSZ and RSS i get the following
results...

For VSZ...
[root@hostXXX ~]# TOTAL=0;for i in `ps auxf|awk '{print $5}'`;do TOTAL=$(($i
+ $TOTAL));done;echo $TOTAL
2459016

For RSS...
[root@hostXXX ~]# TOTAL=0;for i in `ps auxf|awk '{print $6}'`;do TOTAL=$(($i
+ $TOTAL));done;echo $TOTAL
2239188

Anybody have any idea what is going on here?
