Hi all. I've been looking for "top" program output for some time and got a question regarding disk cache size. Here's an example: Mem: 17M Active, 87M Inact, 15M Wired, 4644K Cache, 8351K Buf, 676K Free Swap: 128M Total, 1380K Used, 127M Free, 1% Inuse As I understand, "Buf" variable shows the disk cache and it is ~8MB in size. This server has SMB running and serves a ~7GB partition from which ~1GB of data is in active use by SMB server/clients. The server has 128MB of memory total from which 87M is in inactive state as shown in "top" output. So the question is: how could I increase disk cache size and will it increase SMB server performance also? Does anyone have such experience to improve disk system performance by tuning disk cache size? I think, this is not a Samba server question, but FreeBSD system itself. With best regards, Roman.
