See output below (ran after exiting X). I didn't try unloading the gpu stack. I can try it if you like. I also saved /proc/slabinfo before and after I dropped the caches. If I'm interpreting the file correctly, I only notice large drops in ext4 filesystem stuff. Is there a way to tell which slabs are considered buffers or cache? # free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 5920 4318 1602 0 113 2465 -/+ buffers/cache: 1740 4180 Swap: 7998 0 7998 # echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches # free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 5920 225 5695 0 3 12 -/+ buffers/cache: 209 5711 Swap: 7998 0 7998 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Colocation vs. Managed Hosting A question and answer guide to determining the best fit for your organization - today and in the future. http://p.sf.net/sfu/internap-sfd2d -- _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list Dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
