Hello, recently I got a second AMD Opteron Dual Core and new RAM for my computer. It seems that everything (SLES10) works fine but as I checked the available disk space I saw that the root partition is complete. The reason for this is the file /proc/kcore. Can someone tell me why /proc/kcore can have a size of 5 GB when the RAM has only a size of 4GB? I thought /proc/kcore is a sort of image of the kernel and has the same size as RAM + some kB. Could someone help me please. Best regards, Christine -- Universität des Saarlandes AG Prof. Dr. Christoph Becher Fachrichtung 7.3 (Technische Physik) Geb.
