A full /proc/meminfo would be useful.
In the manner of all good bugs, as soon as I tried to reproduce it, it's hiding. I can get it to this point (very little lowfree, lots of highfree, medium amounts of cache); but now the cache is behaving more as expected. Feel free to ignore it until I can duplicate it again. :) Bill - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
