What actually are the contents of > page cache then? Some pages from user mode processes will be in the page cache, for example the pages from shared libraries, shared memory segments and other mmaped files. However, the page cache also contains file data that is not mmaped into any process. In addition, processes usually have pages that are not part of the page cache, for example the BSS, the heap and the stack. -- "Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.
