I guess they want to make sure that the kernel is efficient in it's memory handling, and by flushing the cache, they can control the memory usage?
I don't even think that much is right. Any time the kernel does I/O, it uses buffers. Even if you can find some way to cause the kernel to "free" them all, it will immediately need to allocate new ones for every I/O operation it does after that. And it will cache those all over again, too. On 6/2/06, Paul Lussier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
