Hi all,
I am currently running with kernel version 2.6.5-7.252-smp.
When I installed the machine initially it was with 1GB RAM and
hyperthreading enabled.
The machine now has 4GB RAM, but free shows only less than 3.5GB is
available.
srv:~ # free
total used free shared buffers
cached
Mem: 3499720 3373244 126476 0 61352
2078844
-/+ buffers/cache: 1233048 2266672
Swap: 8401976 1586248 6815728
On another machine I installed SLES9 SP3 and the installer choosed the
bigsmp version of the kernel and seems to use all 4GB of RAM.
Should I change from 2.6.5-7.252-smp to 2.6.5-7.252-bigsmp and=20
HOW SHOULD I DO THIS? (what is the best and safest way for this kernel
change?)
A brief description of the differences between smp and bigsmp kernel (or
a link to such) would be much appreciated.
Unfortuantely I could find answers to these questions in the SLES 9
Documentation.
Thanks in advance,
Mihail Daskalov
