Greetings,
I can't seem to find an answer to this issue anywhere.
A box running a 2.4.21 smp kernel is holding 2G of ram in the system
cache, despite being heavily into swap:
~ total: used: free: shared: buffers: cached:
Mem: 4224462848 4206002176 18460672 0 41304064 2938032128

Why is this memoy being held in the disk cache? Is this perhaps an NFS
issue?
