(after reading provided information about /proc) I meant the disk cache, actually. I mistook that that was where it lived. What gives me _this_ idea is that a) I haven't increased the size of my disk cache to correspond with the increase in RAM. and b) I imagine the system might have a bit of a problem with this when suddenly it can't read/write stuff where it doesn't have room to write to. > > And second, if it is, how does one _do_ this nondestructively? This still stands. Either way, I need to find out how to do this when I _do_ manage to upgrade with some working RAM.
