I don't know how to check cleancache without zcache; cleancache itself doesn't do anything unless it has some backend configured, and zcache is the only backend I know of and can use. To enable zcache you need to have one `zcache' argument in kernel's command line. There's an outstanding bug in zcache's build system: http://code.google.com/p/compcache/issues/detail?id=91 In short, core part of zcache may end up not being compiled at all ;-( To build zcache in 3.0-rc2, you need to hack it a bit with the attach'd patch. Basically it renames the `zcache.c' to `zcache-core.c' and updates Makefile. To verify zcache is enabled, look through dmesg for two lines like: > zcache: cleancache enabled using kernel transcendent memory and compression buddies >zcache: created ephemeral tmem pool, id=0 -- dexen deVries ``One can't proceed from the informal to the formal by formal means.''
