Hi all, I need some help to disable disk caching on Red Hat linux 7.2 (kernel 2.4). I run a server application on this system with 2 Gigs of RAM. The server application does a lot of disk IO and with time, the linux system consumes all of available memory in cache and buffers thus leaving no space for the processes to grow. The system starts swapping and slows down my server application. I need some way to limit/disable the disk caching. My application does both disk read and write intensive operations. Any pointers will be appreciated. Thanx in advance. -Tulsi Ram. -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
