https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=415344 Summary: Poor Utilisation of Available RAM for cache file serving purposes Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: alpha096@virginbroadband.com.au QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Customer I always have hardware with at least 2GIG of RAM. One Pc is just a file server and print server. No matter what the demands for files are the kernel will not allocate more available RAM to cache, hot fix, turbot FAT, etc etc etc. You will get the same performance from a PC with 1 GIG of RAM that you get with 2 GIG of RAM. The kernel refuses to make better use of more available physical RAM which is largely useless. If there is extra available RAM - use it to increase performance - please dont let it just sit there never being used. The Kernel low available RAM use is wonderful and faultless, how about now taking advantage of more RAM if present to increase performance. Most of the work has already been don't in Netware - the functional additions to Netware memory management can not be that difficult to translate in, if nothing but concepts. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
