[PLUG] To Drop or Not Drop Caches
|
So I had a problem that returned to me. My system caches were eating up all my free ram, and slowing down my system. I found this and it works:
http://linux-mm.org/Drop_Caches
I understand that free ram is waisted, or under-utilized ram. But does it have to be all or nothing? So to cache, or not to cache, is the question. I would prefer some middle ground, like a trip wire value that would be some percentage of available ram, rather the just leave like 80mb of free ram, on my now, slowed system.
