SubjectBuffer cache
Date
Hi!

All the patches for fixing buffer cache problems were against 2.0.xx, while
not all of them have been made against 2.1.xx and actually have made it into
2.1.xx. So, at the moment I'm experiencing buffer cache (supposedly)
problems with 2.1.62 on sparc32 with 48M of RAM, once my filesystem gets
hosed up, fsck never finishes his job under 2.1.62, while under 2.0.30 it
does. It locks up (irq go, but current task doesn't change any more) when
memory used in the system (most of it by fsck) gets close to freepages
limits (in my case 88 132 176).

Can anyone who was writing those patches look at current 2.1.62 and check if
all their changes have made it in or have been solved in some other way?

Cheers,
Jakub
