Hello,
Is there a way to limit the number of "page cached" on a SLES8 system
without limiting the size of the guest ?
I want to reserve a large number of free memory pages for the
application.
Have a look to the allocation please:

all free memory is kept by cache.
When memory problem occurs, only few pages are freed. What parameter
should I set to limit the number of page cache ?
Thanks in advance.
