Memory

[RenDprogrammeur]

Hello,

I have ordered more memory in my system my hoster says that he did that but the total memory by system info stays on 509mb.

How can i change this setting or check that he is not fooling with me ?

It should be around 1,5gig

Total Memory 509280 kB
Free Memory 56736 kB

Run this command from SSH:

top

It should display the actual physical memory.

Mem: 509280k av, 486636k used,

509mb there !

So it seems that they didn't install any new memory in your server!

If "av" stands for available and "used" stands for used, then to find the total amount of ram on your system you would add the two together

 

[RenDprogrammeur]

Thats not true because it was always like that

What OS are you running?
When I run top on Debian I get total, used, free, buffers.

dmesg will probably have it to, but usually it will be pretty close to what top is reporting.

if FreeBSD then /var/run/dmesg.boot will report actual ram size on your server but I already thing you are correct and you have been duped by your provider.
