Hardmount:Normal file system mount used mainly for mounting
local file systems.

Once a file system is hard mounted, can use
a normal filesystem untill

its umount.

Soft mount:It allows automatic unmounting if the filesystem
is idle for a specified timeout

period. It is mainly used for network
filesystems like NFS It can be configured

using Autofs and the network filesystem can
be soft mounted.

My solaris system has 16GB RAM and swap. /tmp is associated to swap. We use vmstat command to get used system memory. We observe that once we fill up /tmp, it reflects in vmstat command. My intention is only to get overall used memory in RAM. 1. Can you let me know the if there is a solaris command to just get used memory in RAM? 2. How is /tmp filling up associated to "free memory" in vmstat command?
