下面是我实际的数据。

[root@localhost ~]# free -m    #查看内存
              total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:            481         224         120           1         136         202
Swap:          1023         283         740
[root@localhost ~]# sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches 
[root@localhost ~]# free -m    #从120到186，释放了66m的内存
              total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:            481         209         186           1          85         222
