1. Use the free-m command to check memory usage

Swap: 6015 0 6015

From the above, we can see that there are as many as 1483m of cache in memory. Fortunately, my memory is 4G, so if it is 2G, I can't stand it.

2. Use sync command to force the data stored in buffer to be written to the hard disk

3. Use the following command to clear the cache and free up space.

The code is as follows:

Echo 3 > / proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
