Subject: Ability to limit or disable page caching?
Date: Mon, 5 May 2008 00:12:56 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <30c6373b0805050012o505c0540i116a31bc1ab9ce9f@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
I'm running into a VERY frustrating bug with page caching and swap.
I'm going to write a long post on this and forward it to the list.
In the mean time is it possible to disable the page cache or limit it
to say 10% of system memory?
I haven't found any way to do this yet.
You could do this with RHEL 4.x but I don't recall this ever making it
into 2.6 :-/
Feedback appreciated.
