Hello, I'm a newbie to this forum. I'm hoping you can help me. I have a website hosted on a managed VPS (CentOS). Recently I ranthe free -t -m command which the following output: total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 1024 895 128 2 0 601 -/+ buffers/cache: 294 729 Swap: 0 0 0 Total: 1024 895 128 My concern relates to the "shared 2". What does it mean ? Should I be concerned? I can provide further details if necessary. Also, should I install more memory? Thank you for your help!!

  Hello :) You can typically ignore the "Shared" memory column because it's obsolete. You may find the following thread helpful: Memory Usage Explained Thank you.
