Is there something obvious I'm missing here? Looking at the code.... OK, most of the work of drop_caches is done by shrink_slab_node, which doesn't actually try to free every single thing that it could free--in particular, it won't try to free anything if it thinks there are less than shrinker->batch_size (1024 in the super_block->s_shrink case) objects to free. So for now I'm just nesting deeper (2048 subdirectories) to get a reliable way to exercise reconnect_path. --b. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
