vmstat -P commands gives me an output as shown at the end of this message.
my first question is about the difference between "total physical memory" and "total physical memory use"
"Total Physical Memory" -"Total Physical Memory Use"
524288 pages-524026 pages= 262 pages
does it mean that 262 pages are free?
if they are not free, this pages are used for what?
if they are free what relation exist between these pages(262 pages) and
the free pages = 18540 (which are mentioned in the
"Managed Pages Break Down" part)
my second question is:
whats the relation between total physical memory(here it is=524288 ) and
the total memory mentioned in the "Managed Pages Break Down" part
(here it is=507442 pages)
vmstat -P output:
