I'm working on fine tuning my balance between MDC hits, VM paging rate, Linux swap rate, and Linux guest use of memory for cache. The one piece
of data I'm missing is the hit ratio of the Linux cache. My research so far has not turned up anything that reports this value. Anybody know if this statistic is even available (SLES 9 & 10) and, if so, where to f ind it? The easy thing, and what I've done in the past, is to minimize the Linux memory sizes, but I'd like to evaluate if Linux guests with a high enough local cache hit ratio might benefit total system throughput by trimming them less.
