Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I have a box running that as much as possible, I would like the VM system to favor caching writes and metadata over program run space... Meaning, say on a 64MB box, if a program needed 100MB's of memory, that program would be forced to page/swap, while 32MB's of RAM (or whatever), is still caching filesystem writes. Essentially, the memory priority needs to be on caching... Is this possible with 3.4? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
