/ proc / meminforeports大约4 GiB总内存：

$head -n 1 /proc/meminfo
MemTotal:        4051692 kB

免费报告相同(我只查看总列;我不是在讨论使用,免费,共享,缓冲,缓存)：

$free -k
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:       4051692    3867356     184336     220908      63948    1203596

Swap:     15728208     652540   15075668

dmesg也是如此grep记忆：

$dmesg | grep Memory
[    0.000000] Memory: 4034240K/4185236K available (5287K kernel code,949K rwdata,1836K rodata,1208K init,840K bss,150996K reserved)

但dmidecode报告4 * 2 GiB = 8 GiB的RAM,如果我理解正确：

$sudo dmidecode --type memory

我错过了什么？
它是托管中心的服务器,所以不幸的是我无法轻易看到物理安装的内容.

编辑：
man dmidecode说：“通常情况下,DMI表中包含的信息不准确,不完整或完全错误.”也许dmidecode只是报告错误的数据？

编辑：
这不是Why is Linux reporting “free” memory strangely?的重复.那个问题是关于空闲内存,以及缓冲和缓存带来的混乱.我不关心空闲记忆,只关心总记忆.不要让我使用free命令欺骗你：我没有用它来查看可用内存量,只有总内存量.如果有人仍然认为这个问题是重复的,请解释我为什么,因为我不明白.

根据Lenniey的要求编辑：dmidecode -t1
