10.0pt;font-family:"Book Antiqua"'>I had been chasing a potential memory leak
until “sar –r”, had revealed that all the “mysteriously
used” memory was actually being taken up by the kernel data cache. It is
chewing up all unused memory on the system slowly over time, which is a concern.
Various sources have pointed me towards making modification in the /proc/sys/vm
file-system although kernel documentation on the files within doesn’t
seem to really fit what I’m trying to do.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
