Simple question why does linux hold onto cached dentry/inodes/data for an extended period of time and to the point where a host experiences memory starvation and you're forced to drop the cache to stop the host falling over ? Before anyone answers don't regurgitate the Linux ate my ram issue. The issue I see seems to be fundamental flaw, dirty ratios and cache pressure settings have little affect on the cache reclaim Short of cron'ing the dropping of the cache Linux appears to handle this quite badly?
