Re: set a limit for the cache

You can do this by changing values in the /proc file system.
Refer to the docs in the kernel source.

 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?
