[Please CC me personally, as I'm not subscribed]
Hey folks,
I'm using a custom built 2.4.21 kernel from the Mandrake 9.1 distribution. The hardware is dual AMD Athlon 2600+ system with 2Gb of registered DDR ECC memory, SCSI and ATA disks.
My apparent problem is I'm seeing virtually no buffer usage, as checked from /proc/meminfo. The system has been up for 11 days, with heavy dB and file access activity (Gb's worth per day), yet the buffer usage never budges. Am I missing something fundamental, have I boffed the kernel build, or is there a problem? I would appreciate any pointers.
