Unix Cache / Buffer
Does anyone know how the unix buffer / cache is set in a Solaris based system ?
( I presume it is a kernel based setting )
I notice from SAR -d that my read cache is consistently at 100% but my write cache frequently falls below 65%. What does this mean. Should I be tuning the write cache and if so, how ?
Is there a single buffer / cache or separate ones for read & write ?

5. UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers
Hi,
Is it possible to reduce the amount of buffer cache in the memory allocation of a Unix Server? If so where can I do that?
Also, does buffer cache count as tied up memory, or will it decrease as more memory is requested by other programs. (1 Reply)

Hi,
I am trying to understand the role of buffer cache in block I/O.
I am monitoring /proc/meminfo, my question is does the value of 0 for 'buffers', mean that any subsequent disk read issued by a process, would get the data physically from the disk, and not an allocated buffer for the block?

cache::memory
Cache::Memory(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Cache::Memory(3pm)
NAME
Cache::Memory - Memory based implementation of the Cache interface
SYNOPSIS
use Cache::Memory;
my $cache = Cache::Memory->new( namespace => 'MyNamespace',
default_expires => '600 sec' );
See Cache for the usage synopsis.
DESCRIPTION
The Cache::Memory class implements the Cache interface. This cache stores data on a per-process basis. This is the fastest of the cache
implementations, but is memory intensive and data can not be shared between processes. It also does not persist after the process dies.
However data will remain in the cache until cleared or it expires. The data will be shared between instances of the cache object, a cache
object going out of scope will not destroy the data.
CONSTRUCTOR
my $cache = Cache::Memory->new( %options )
The constructor takes cache properties as named arguments, for example:
my $cache = Cache::Memory->new( namespace => 'MyNamespace',
default_expires => '600 sec' );
See 'PROPERTIES' below and in the Cache documentation for a list of all available properties that can be set.
METHODS
See 'Cache' for the API documentation.
PROPERTIES
Cache::Memory adds the property 'namespace', which allows you to specify a different caching store area to use from the default. All
methods will work ONLY on the namespace specified.
my $ns = $c->namespace();
$c->set_namespace( $namespace );
For additional properties, see the 'Cache' documentation.
