Hello, can someone tell me what /proc/sys/vm/max-readahead and /proc/sys/vm/min-readahead are for? I find some mails about it in the kernel-mailinglist archive. But I didn't understand the concept behind these parameters. /proc/sys/vm/pagetable_cache is described in the kernel documentation. Why do we have a per processor cache? Can someone explain more about that? Thanks. regards, Volker -- Volker Dormeyer # V.Dormeyer@t-online.de -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
