Re: 2.4.5 VM

Relating to Huge Dcache and InodeCache Entries and < 2xMem Swap.
I have a server with > 1.1gig of RAM which I have limited to 1gig (due to
stability - BUG at HIGHMEM.c: 155 crashes)...

The size of the Swap space is 620mb... my memory usage is below :

Mem:        900008     892748       7260          0      14796     171796
-/+ buffers/cache:     706156     193852
Swap:       641016       1792     639224

The extract out of slabinfo is:
inode_cache       903876 930840    480 116355 116355    1 :  124   62
bdev_cache          1160   1357     64   23   23    1 :  252  126
sigqueue             261    261    132    9    9    1 :  252  126
dentry_cache      775520 934560    128 31152 31152    1 :  252  126

As you can see the usage is crazy....bearing in mind a number of things.
The system is running hardware raid5, reiserfs and massive amount of files
> 500000 in >2000 directories..

It is a 2x933mhz PIII + 1.1gig of ram NEtservers

What I really want to know is DOES THIS REALLY Matter. IE If memory is
needed by and application are these entries simply purged then.. In which
case there is no problem????
