Hmm not really, I just seem to have a very large piece of non-cache/buffer memory that seems reluctant to shrink on light memory pressure. This makes the box feel sluggish, if I force reclaim by running fillmem and swapping on/off again, it feels much better. I should mention that this is with 2.6.bk + andreas oom patches that he asked me to test. I can try 2.6.11-rc2-bkX if you think I should. -- Jens Axboe - 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/
