| |
I noticed that the inode_cache is quite high. No matter what I do to the tunable system parameters in /proc (below) I can't get the amount of memory taken by the inode cache to reduce and become freed for userspace programs.
/proc/sys/vm/vm_mapped_ratio ( tried 20 - 100 ) /proc/sys/vm/vm_vfs_scan_ratio ( tried 2 - 6 )
How often does the dcache/icache shrinking take place in 2.4?
On vfat/fat32, ext2/3 filesystems I don't see anywhere near the amount of lost memory than when using the NTFS filesystem. This is what led me to think that the NTFS driver was leaking, rather than this being an inode cache problem. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
