I consider it very unlikely that a 8G dentry hash table ever makes sense. I cannot even imagine a workload where you would have that many active files. It's just a bad configuration that should be avoided. And when the tables are small enough you don't need these hacks. -Andi -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
