I have a somewhat large postgres database on a server (currently about
6gig). The data is only written to once a day, and otherwise is just read
the rest of the day. The machine has after running for a while shows
Mem: 23M Active, 99M Inact, 16M Wired, 8664K Cache, 8344K Buf, 40M Free

Would it make sense to tune my kernel so that the disk cache is larger ?
If so, where would I tune this.
