       Yes, Now I think you people understand the problem I am
       facing..!! :-((
       I had posted a problem of my linux box hanging giving an error
       "LRU list corrupted"
       "free list corrupted"
       Some people had mentioned me to use a utility called memtester
       which showed no errors.
       Before this happens I had noticed the phenomenon given below.
       I feel these are in some way connected.
       Are there any kernel developers on this list.??

       Hi,

          I have recently installed RH 6.1 in a 3GB partition and it's
          working
          perfectly except for one issue. When I ran "top" to see the
          usage stats
          I noticed that a lot of memory was allocated for the disk
          cache - and
          it keeps on increasing as more disk I/O takes place. It
          increases to
          such an extent that is causes swapping of idle processes to
          disk !

          I have 64MB ram and the cache ultimately increases to occupy
          almost
          50MB !   Any suggestions to tune the cache/limit it's size
          is greatly
          appreciated.

       Regards,
       Moinak.
