That isn't a problem. The 'buffers/cache' are entirely seperate from how much regular memory is in use. They're used by the kernel to speed up filesystem-related things. If you try to malloc lots of memory the cache will be discarded as necessary. -- Ciaran McCreesh Mail: ciaranm at gentoo.org Web: http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
