Which will give more free RAM to linux?
- by Linda Thomas
Trying to avoid some issues so I've been trying to learn vm. in kernel tuning but still a little confused even after googling. The lower background_ratio is the sooner the flushes? the lower dirty_ratio is the less dirty ram that is kept, right
vm.dirty_ratio = 20
vm.dirty_background_ratio = 1
or
vm.dirty_ratio = 60
vm.dirty_background_ratio = 20
or
vm.dirty_ratio = 20
vm.dirty_background_ratio = 10
or
vm.dirty_ratio = 20
vm.dirty_background_ratio = 5
