Having said that, on the 6th day of running straight 2.6.32, I just saw
the OOM killer invoked when ~1.1GB out of 2GB RAM was being used by the
page cache... which killed my Visual Paradigm (java) process. I've
attached the kernel debug output - is there anything obvious in there as
to why the page cache couldn't be reclaimed, or is this a bug?
