SOLVED How much ram your applications could use without swapping

[toplisek]

I have read URL at: Help! Linux ate my RAM!

$ free -m
total used free (F) shared buff/cache (B+C)
Mem: 1504 1491 13 0 855
Swap: 2047 6 2041

Is is quoted available as 792.

If I understand we calculate (B + C) + F as available memory:
855 + 13 = 868

Is this in the right direction and RAM memory is available 57,71% and full 42,29%?
(868/1504)*100

Hello,

Yes, that's correct. The "free" memory plus the "buffers/cache" memory is essentially how you can tell how much memory is available. The following URL explains how this works:

Meaning of the buffers/cache line in the output of free

Thank you.
