linux buffer cache区别,linux top 和 free 命令及 buffer和 cache 区别

**cache是高速缓存，用于CPU和内存之间的缓冲

**buffer是I/O缓存，用于内存和硬盘的缓冲*

buffer 与cache 的区别

A buffer is something that has yet to be “written” to disk.

A cache is something that has been “read” from the disk and stored for later use.

[root@server ~]# free -m

total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached

Mem:           249        163         86          0         10             94

-/+ buffers/cache:         58        191

Swap:          511          0          511

其中:

[root@server ~]# free -m

total used free shared buffers cached

Mem: 249 163 86 0 10 94

-/+ buffers/cache: 58 191

Swap: 511 0 511

其中:

total 内存总数

used 已经使用的内存数

free 空闲的内存数

shared 多个进程共享的内存总额

buffers： Buffer Cache

cached： Page Cache

-buffers/cache 的内存数:used - buffers - cached

+buffers/cache 的内存数:free + buffers + cached

**可用的memory=free memory+buffers+cached**
