Hi,

many thanks for your message. Basically I would say, because virt Mem is used by your system

Looking to your picture will show that virt Mem is around 50MB. While phys Mem is still more than 1,5GB free.

thanks, but is it okay ?, normal ?

yes nothing to worry about. You could use thinks like free -m or htop on command line to check memory usage

Code: Select all

root@DietPi4:~# free -m
              total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:           3877          45        3359         109         472        3595
Swap:             0           0           0
root@DietPi4:~#

Which file can be modified to increase that?

Is this the ZRAM addon that was implemented recently?

@WarHawk
ZRam is not yet implemented in production. Will be released with next DietPi version, probably. That's why assume it's SWAP in this case.
