570Mb total ram?

[medi01]

Hi,

I'm an owner of GB Quad box.
Recently it started to hang/reboot.

One of the crashes said "out of mem...".

When I've checked free memory on it, I got the following result:

root@gbquad:~# free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 571076 559024 12052 0 1588 403372
-/+ buffers/cache: 154064 417012
Swap: 0 0 0


Is it normal?
Shouldn't it show 1Gb of total RAM? Do I have a box with faulty memory?

Thank you in advance,
Medi

The 'free' command doesn't give any useful information, as Linux tends to use all memory.
The 'available' only shows what is available in userspace (i.e. bot including the system reserved memory).

"out of mem..." is probably related to flash. There can be a problem in your setup that causes all flash to be used (--> box is unusable).

I'm worried about "total". Total mem is reported to be 570mb.

I have internal hdd mounted, it even has linux tmp partition, why would it use flash?

PS
Box tends to reboot if I'm copying big files over network...

Don't reflash, no point and a waste of time
