I have a solaris10 box running a java application on it. Whenever the java app is used heavily, the amount of free memory decreases fairly rapidly. I believe I have eliminated the running applications from the culprit list. In the process I have found that the page cache is consuming about 20G of the 24G of memory on the box. I read in other posts that this is okay, since the cache is easily dumped when required by applications. But after the box reaches around 1% free memory, swap starts filling up. This makes monitoring the amount of free memory and swap pretty much useless.
Any ideas on how to identify what is getting cached, and/or how to keep it down to something sensible ?

Hi
I have a filesystem cache which is around 20G in size and I'm a bit perplexed as to what is in it.
I'm running Sybase on the machine with the db on raw volumes and a tempdb on a ramdisk.
My understanding is that raw volumes are not cached and I assumed that the ramdisk is not either. Am... (1 Reply)
We just set up a system to use large pages. I want to know if there is a command to see how much of the memory is being used for large pages. For example if we have a system with 8GB of RAm assigned and it has been set to use 4GB for large pages is there a command to show that 4GB of the *GB is... (1 Reply)
Hi all
I saw in Microsoft web site www.SysInternals.com a tool called CoreInfo from able to print out on screen the size of the Data and Instruction caches of your processor, the Locigal to Physical Processor mapping, the number of the CPU sockets. etc..
Do you know if in Linux is available a... (2 Replies)
Hi All,
could any one point out any open source test-suites for "File cache" testing and as well as performance test suites for the same. Currently my system is up with Linux/ext4.

Should have done this 10 years ago, so better late than never:
Just added a "loading" animation to the the man page repositories when they load, especially since some are very large and take many seconds to load.
See for example:

SYNOPSIS
install-solaris
install-solaris invokes the Solaris Install program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.
The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:
For SPARC machines:
128 MB
Minimum physical memory for all installation types
128 MB
Minimum physical memory required for windowing system
384 MB
Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation
For x86 machines:
256 MB
Minimum physical memory for all installation types
256 MB
Minimum physical memory required for windowing system
512 MB
Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation
In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number of fea-
tures available.
install-solaris exists only on the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the for more
details.
install-solaris allows installation of the operating system onto any standalone system. install-solaris loads the software available on the
