You originally stated there's a bug in linux. This probably rubbed people the wrong way, people here work hard on linux, some are grumpy, and for someone to come in here and tell them "here's a big fat bug in linux" when in fact it isn't a bug, well, many good people could become not so friendly. If you would have said "Clarification needed, is this a bug?" or something, I think you would have gotten less hostile replies. Then again, maybe you're on to something, I've been very nice, unassuming and cordial about my filesystem cache question, maybe I need to post a message with the subject "Bug in vm/filesystem cache" so I can get a response. :( Sincerely, Brett Lisa R.
