How min_free_kbytes default size is calculated. Note that the comments mention network bandwidth.
https://gist.github.com/793880 The comments say: min_free_kbytes = 4 * sqrt(lowmem_kbytes), for better accuracy: min_free_kbytes = sqrt(lowmem_kbytes * 16) So perhaps min_free_kbytes = sqrt(lowmem_kbytes * 32) is more realistic in terms of what is actually needed to prevent this from happening? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/591947 Title: Copying large files to NFS mount blocks system -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
