I upgraded the memory on my Readynas ultra 6 to 2gb.
When i check the istat all the memory appears there however i cant figure out what inactive memory is? and why its over 1gb? while free memory is roughly 100mb. Check my attached screenshot.

Wired memory— This is memory that applications or the system needs immediate access to, so it can’t be cached to disk. It will vary depending on what applications you’re using.
Active memory— This is memory that is actively being used.
Inactive memory— This memory is no longer being used and has been cached to disk. It’ll remain in RAM until another application needs the space.
