Hello Kazuo. You're right. The description is a bit confusing. I'm going to propose the change upstream and we'll see. I'll let you know once I have any feedback. Regards, Jaromir. Hello Kazuo. It has been merged upstream in the following form: r: The number of runnable processes (running or waiting for run time). It's introduced in f18 & rawhide(f19). Closing as RAWHIDE. |
Description of problem: in vmstat(8) man page 'r' field described as following: > Procs > r: The number of processes waiting for run time. but recent linux kernel doesn't separate 'running' process and 'waiting for run time' process. I propose a new description. r: Total number of running/runnable processes
