emm, no, That only deactivates the on-disk cache and has nothing to do with the kernel caches&buffers. In fact, it has nothing to do with the kernel at all. Deactivating the cache might be a good thing in certain situations, but it usually just decreases performance. So it is usually a BAD THING(tm). -- [email protected] mailing list
