Subject: Over used cache memory?
Date: Thu, 06 Nov 2003 16:05:59 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <BAY4-F41WYf5UPHvAo10001c90f@hotmail.com> (raw)

My system having 1GB ram and this is the output of vmstat

   procs                      memory      swap          io     system      
cpu
r  b  w   swpd   free   buff  cache   si   so    bi    bo   in    cs us sy

It seems that 797MB is used for caching... thats a high number. Anyway to 
set a lower cache size?

I've read about the /proc/sys/vm/buffermem but my /proc doesn't have it.

Kernel: 2.4.22
