If you are running a prod shop, you should looking into buying support.

Well, kswapd is supposed to flush the caches. As in, the vm
controls the lifetime of the inodes in the inode_cache not ocfs2.
All ocfs2 can do is free the memory associated with the inode when
asked to. And it does that when you manually flush the cache. Qs is
why the vm is not doing it on its own. (fwiw, you are on a beta kernel.)
We are using beta kernels in an attempt to solve this problem. As
everyone knows, the most recent official SUSE kernel (2.6.16.21-0.25 i
believe?) completely broke ocfs2. Downgrading to 2.6.16.21-0.15 solves
that problem but the memory issue remains.
So as far as I am aware, there is no SUSE kernel that works with ocfs2
which is where we find ourselves today.
I just upgraded to the latest KOTD:
2.6.16.42-SLES10_SP1_BRANCH_20070307114604-smp
And still, when running ocfs2, all ram gets consumed.
Right now Novell is playing the "you don't have premium support" game so
where should I report this bug?
