Please correct if any of this is wrong. There was a big change in buffer & cache handling in 2.3.7. (This broke FAT too for a while.) I believe the pending writes are in "cache" instead of buffers now, the buffers are only used for metadata. So expect less buffers in use than before.
I don't know about the "shared" stuff, a problem with reporting perhaps? Shared memory still works...
