You can do this by changing values in the /proc file system. Refer to the docs in the kernel source. "Kappl, Hannes" wrote:
Hi, I am using kernel 2.4.4. I have 32M RAM with a 10M Ramdisk. Now my problem is that the Ramdisk is cached in the RAM(4 - 8M!). Is it possible to set the size of the cache to a limit or to disable the cache complete? 7:13pm up 34 min, 0 users, load average: 0.12, 0.33, 0.30 22 processes: 21 sleeping, 1 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped CPU states: 0.9% user, 4.3% system, 0.0% nice, 94.7% idle Mem: 30612K av, 9216K used, 21396K free, 9904K shrd, 0K buff Swap: 0K av, 0K used, 0K free 5392K cached PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT LIB %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND 107 root 14 0 836 836 644 R 0 4.5 2.7 0:00 top best regard Hannes
