DO NOT TOUCH THIS FILE! (sorry for caps)
It is a memory mirror pseudo file. It does not use the amount of space
it shows to a directory/file listing. Leave it as it is! It is under
/proc and is only there while Linux is running and will be recreated
every time your reboot. Fiddling around with it will typically lead you
to a total computer freeze.
