The df/bdf command shows /proc 100% full all the time. What does /proc contain? and why 100% all the time even on a new setup.

"The /proc file system is only a "Virtual" file system. none of the files in /proc are really there—they're all, "pretend" files made up by the kernel to give you information about the system and don't take up any hard disk space.
 Many programs actually gather information from files in /proc(ie. ps, top). /proc is a good source of information about your hardware, Memory and Performance. Most of it is read-only, but some files allow kernel variables to be changed in real time. Catting proc will let you see what is in a particular file of proc: cat /proc/meminfo cat /proc/cpuinfo and the number directories in /proc are running process information by PID. |
