This is the memory located 0222 within the memory chips, within your computer. This is the 0223 <acronym>RAM</acronym> (for Random Access Memory) you bought when you 0224 purchased your computer.</para> 0225 0226 <para>The second type of memory, is called virtual or swap memory. This 0227 block of memory, is actually space on the hard drive. The operating 0228 system reserves a space on the hard drive for <quote>swap space</quote>. 0229 The operating system can use this virtual memory (or swap space), if it 0230 runs out of physical memory. The reason this is called 0231 <quote>swap</quote> memory, is the operating system takes some data that 0232 it doesn't think you will want for a while, and saves that to disk in 0233 this reserved space. The operating system then loads the new data you 0234 need right now. It has <quote>swapped</quote> the not needed data, for 0235 the data you need right now. Virtual or swap memory is not as fast as 0236 physical memory, so operating systems try to keep data (especially often 0237 used data), in the physical memory.</para> 0238 0239 <para>The total memory, is the combined total of physical memory and 0240 virtual memory.</para> 0241 0242 </sect2> 0243 0244 <sect2 id="memory-use"> 0245 <title>Memory Information Module</title> 0246 0247 <para>This window is divided into a top and bottom section</para> 0248 0249 <para>The top section shows you the total physical memory, total free 0250 physical memory, shared memory, and buffered memory.</para> 0251 0252 <para>All four values are represented as the total number of bytes, and 0253 as the number of megabytes (1 megabyte = slightly more than 1,000,000 0254 bytes)</para> 0255 0256 <para>The bottom section shows you three graphs: </para> 0257 0258 <itemizedlist> 0259 <listitem><para><guilabel>Total Memory</guilabel> (this is the combination of physical and virtual memory).</para></listitem> 0260 <listitem><para><guilabel>Physical Memory</guilabel></para></listitem> 0261 <listitem><para>Virtual memory, or <guilabel>Swap Space</guilabel>.</para></listitem> 0262 </itemizedlist> 0263 0264 <para>The grey areas are free, and the blue and green areas are used.</para> 0265 <tip><para>The exact values of each type of memory are not critical, and 0266 they change regularly.

This suggests 0275 that you do not have enough physical memory, and your computer is 0276 relying on the slower virtual memory for commonly used data.

Smbstatus reports on current &Samba; 0533 connections, and is part of the suite of &Samba; tools, which implements 0534 the &SMB; (Server Message Block) protocol, also called 0535 the NetBIOS or LanManager protocol.</para> 0536 0537 <para>This protocol can be used to provide printer sharing or drive 0538 sharing services on a network including machines running the various 0539 flavors of &Microsoft; &Windows;.</para> 0540 0541 <para><command>showmount</command> is part of the &NFS; 0542 software package. &NFS; stands for Network File System 0543 and is the traditional &UNIX; way to share folders over the 0544 network. In this case the output of <command>showmount</command> 0545 <option>-a localhost</option> is parsed. On some systems showmount is in 0546 <filename class="directory">/usr/sbin</filename>, check if you have 0547 showmount in your <envar>PATH</envar>.</para> 0548 0549 <sect3 id="smb-exports"> 0550 <title>Exports</title> 0551 0552 <para>On this page you can see a big list which shows the currently 0553 active connections to &Samba; shares and &NFS; exports of 0554 your machine. The first column shows you whether the resource is a &Samba; 0555 (&SMB;) share or a &NFS; export. The 0556 second column contains the name of the share, the third the name of the 0557 remote host, which accesses this share. The remaining columns have only 0558 a meaning for &Samba;-shares.</para> 0559 0560 <para>The fourth column contains the User <abbrev>ID</abbrev> of the 0561 user, who accesses this share. Note that this does not have to be equal 0562 to the &UNIX; user <abbrev>ID</abbrev> of this user. The same applies 0563 for the next column, which displays the group <abbrev>ID</abbrev> of the 0564 user.</para> 0565 0566 <para>Each connection to one of your shares is handled by a single 0567 process (<command>smbd</command>), the next column shows the process 0568 <abbrev>ID</abbrev> (<acronym>pid</acronym>) of this 0569 <command>smbd</command>. If you kill this process the connected user 0570 will be disconnected. If the remote user works from &Windows;, as soon 0571 as this process is killed a new one will be created, so he will almost 0572 not notice it.</para> 0573 0574 <para>The last column shows how many files this user has currently open. 0575 Here you see only, how many files he has <emphasis>open</emphasis> just 0576 now, you don't see how many he copied or formerly opened &etc;</para> 0577 0578 </sect3> 0579 0580 <sect3 id="smb-imports"> 0581 <title>Imports</title> 0582 0583 <para> Here you see which &Samba;- and &NFS;-shares from 0584 other hosts are mounted on your local system.
