Re: Procs reporting large amounts of memory usage in monitor

Shared libraries and stuff probably account for that.

If a proc has an open library that is shared by 100 other processes, each
process will report the memory it is using in regard to that library.

I am using AIX System monitor v2.1
And under the memory section my procs are reporting 4192270 MB. When we
only have 2048 MB of actual system memory in our machine.

Has any one else experienced this before?

Memory Real Virtual
free 2048 MB 0 MB
procs 4192270 MB 416 MB
files 2033 MB
total 2048 MB 416 MB

load average: 3.10, 3.02, 2.70

Running AIX 4.3.3 on an F50.
