Hi,

I wonder if there is common wisdom on this list about how to tune the values in /proc/sys under Linux for a large Cyrus installation. We run RH AS 2.1 on a pair of servers that have 8 GB of RAM built-in. For almost two years we have struggeled with problems caused by the bad cache management of 32-bit Linux 2.4 on large memory machines. We have now reduced the memory of the machines to 2 GB, which has improved matters to some degree.

Now RH support has recommended tuning /proc/sys/vm/pagecache and possibly other parameters. Does anybody have experience tuning these values for Cyrus? I'd be glad for any hints regarding this.

Thanks, Sebastian Hagedorn
