Subject: Purging the Buffer Cache
Date: Tue, 19 Dec 2000 20:06:34 -0800 (PST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20001220040634.26347.qmail@web10102.mail.yahoo.com> (raw)
Is there any way to completely purge the buffer
cache -- not just the write requests (ala 'sync' or
'update'), but the whole thing? Can I just call
invalidate_buffers() or destroy_buffers()?
I know, why in the world would a person do such a
thing? Research. It'd be easier for me to write a
little program or add it to a module than wait for a
reboot each time I need a clean buffer cache.
Thanks in advance,
Al
