I've read Matt Dillon's discussion about the freebsd VM at

saying that Freebsd uses all the free RAM for disk cache. Would you care
to provide a URL pointing to that?



Quoting from http://www.daemonnews.org/200001/freebsd_vm.html :

<snip>*
When To Free a Page*
Since the VM system uses all available memory for disk caching, there 
are usually very few truly-free pages...

Got to say - a very interesting discussion you have all being having, I 
am now quite confused about what those vfs.*buf* variables actually do...

Please feed back any clarfications from the FreeBSD experts to this list!
