Linux uses all available more for caching of filesystems. When copying large files to slow network filesystems (nfs, smb, sshfs, davfs) it takes a long time until such allocated memory becomes free. When these network filesystems saturate memory linux becomes very unresponsive. It can take minutes to start applications.

Is there a way to limit memory usage of network filesystems?
