In embedded systems (e.g., CNC controllers, PLCs), a display may show dc015820 as a firmware version, and below it min free: XXXX KB indicating minimum free memory over a runtime period. This is not a standard Linux min-free parameter but a custom diagnostic.
| Step | Command / Action | Expected Output | |------|------------------|-----------------| | | cat /etc/device-id or check the label | MEYD646-DC015820 | | 2. Show memory stats | free -h or cat /proc/meminfo | Total, used, free RAM | | 3. Read min‑free kernel setting | sysctl vm.min_free_kbytes | e.g., vm.min_free_kbytes = 8192 | | 4. Get runtime low‑water mark | cat /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes (or vendor‑specific) | e.g., 10240 | | 5. Compare with total RAM | awk '/MemTotal/ print $2' /proc/meminfo → compute % | 10240 / 524288 ≈ 2 % | | 6. Adjust if needed | sysctl -w vm.min_free_kbytes=16384 | New value applied | | 7. Persist across reboots | Add vm.min_free_kbytes=16384 to /etc/sysctl.conf | Reboot → value stays | | 8. Verify stability | Run workload, monitor dmesg for “Out of memory” | No OOM messages for > 24 h |
