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 from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
