Re: Is this usage of kernel memory OK?

[Jose Luis Rodriguez Garcia <joseyluis%gmail.com@localhost>]

The output of top says:

34M File

Is incorrect the output of top? or is it only a subset of buffer cache
the 34M showed?

How can I measure the area used for buffer cache? Is it the sum all
buf*k areas of vmstat -m?
