No. This is a simple disk node. It serves the md0 array, and uses mem for buffering-caching. If it reboots, fill the memory on the first couple of minutes, and stay on full, but this is relatively good.
But 2 question is remaining:
1. why don't use highmem for caching? 2. why can not allocate enough lowmem from shared-buffer for the e1000 driver if it needs some memory?
Cheers, Janos
