Jeff,
Linux won't swap out recently used pages in order to cache DASD.

>------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Is there a way to limit the amount of storage that Linux can use for
caching
DASD (or block devices)?
I do not want to force Linux not to swap but I want to ensure Linux does
not
swap my application and/or data areas out just to cache DASD ...
Regards,
Jeff
