Dear All, Below is my top command results on db server. I am very curios to know why when it shows that mysqld is just using 1.4% of the memory but total memory used is 32733428k? I would like to know why is this happening?Anything wrong happing to my server is it?

Linux tries to use as much memory as possible to be faster. That's normal and nothing to worry about. Otherwise it's have to read more from the hard drive which would slow down the system.
Dear Falko, When you say linux here means the kernel is using it is it? I am sorry I am new so a kind of lost too.
