Hmmm, after a bit of googling and a download of 2.6.18, it seems that documentation on lowmem_reserve_ratio is still on the todo list. cat /proc/sys/vm/lowmem_reserve_ratio gives me "256 256 32" on the system in question. Can someone give me a quick rundown of what this means? Thanks, Steve Bergman -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
