Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Linux Virtual Memory Question Post 302560763 by jlliagre on Saturday 1st of October 2011 01:53:49 AM

I stand corrected. Top correctly reports allocated memory including overcommitted one.

The top original manual page (top(1) - The UNIX and Linux Forums ) is confusing as this 1 GiB is not made of pages that have been swapped out but pages that were never used in in the first place.

Debian top manual page has this part corrected:

Code:
VIRT  --  Virtual Image (kb)
          The total amount of virtual memory used by the task.  It includes all
          code, data and shared libraries plus pages  that have been swapped out
          and pages that have been mapped but not used.
