I just noticed that the output structure of the free command changed.
It looks like this now
% free -m
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 7850 1351 2386 770 4112 5446
Swap: 4766 0 4766
Some time ago there was this -/+ buffer/cache line.
And the meaning of the columns seems to have changed to. At least the 'used' column had the buffers and cache also summed up into the value.
According to the man page 'used' is now 'total - free - buffers - cache'
I tried to search for the reasons of the changes but can't find information. All I can find is those explanations regarding "help linux ate my ram..." which all have the -/+ buffers line
Does anybody know when and why this was changed?
I put at button on it. Yes. I wish to press it, but I'm not sure what will happen if I do. (Gune | Titan A.E.)

I noticed that, too. It seems to have occurred a couple of weeks ago.
