A DELL R730XD server with 32GiB * 8, totaling 256GB of memory, is correctly recognized as 256GB in the BIOS. When checking the memory information using "dmidecode -t memory" in Linux, the total of 256GB is also reported correctly. However, the "free -h" command consistently shows a total of 251GB on both CentOS and Arch Linux. same for "htop" command. Why? enter image description here Some told me that's cause the different between GB and GiB, It's wrong, 256GB != 251GiB. there some information about: memory info on bios/iDRAC enter image description here memory info on windows server 2019 enter image description here
