No, high utilization of file system cache will not cause any swapping - file system caching uses whatever is spare. If there's nothing, no caching. AFAIU. I can confirm what you're seeing about the cache being used up - I saw that too. My cache-number only went to about 485000, and free only down to 6000-7000. My webserver also has 1Gb RAM, but it does a few more things. Does your free memory actually go as low as 0? I don't think this is about the file system cache - I know you said no limits, but what do you have for post_max_size and upload_max_size ? I'm using 1200M for both for this test. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
