Hi, what would be a good value for /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes on a Dual-CPU EM64T System with 8 GB of memory. Kernel is 2.6.9-42.0.3.ELsmp. I know that the default might be a bit low. Unfortunatelly the documentation is a bit weak in this area. We are experiencing responsiveness problems (and higher than expected load) when the system is under combined memory+network+disk-IO stress. Thanks Martin Please CC me on replies, as I am only getting the digest. ------------------------------------------------------ Martin Knoblauch email: k n o b i AT knobisoft DOT de www: http://www.knobisoft.de
