Now that I found the doc I was looking for (thanx everyone -- again, JUST SHOOT ME because I looked there and missed it before!), how would this "max fs cache" parameter differ from what is or has been reserved for in the docs:

Isn't that what "max_percent" is [reserved] for?
Again, newbie action here so SMACK ME (hard) if I'm missing the point. I'm no VM expert (sad since I had an OS course in college based on Tannebaum's book). ;->>>

P.S. Thanx for everyone's help. I have something to work with now, and a few other things to try when I can take the system down.
