cinfo

The goal of this project is to provide users with more information on the contents of the various caches of their kernel. Having more information may be useful to:

determine if adding more memory is useful
see if the cache is functioning as it should
find out if your files on the server are being cached or if other files are deemed more important

It is suspected that better awareness of caches will improve people's ability to build and maintain high performance servers and kernels.

Initial release. Pretty functional in telling you about how much of a file is in the pagecache. Example:

$ cinfo /lib/libc.so.6
/lib/libc.so.6: 275 pages, 275 pages in core (100.00%)

Distribution

Version 0.1 is available here and works on Linux 2.4 and FreeBSD 4.3. It may work on lower versions, if so, please let me know.

Bazaar

This project is intended to be very much a Bazaar style development. If it were to be any more open, bits would fall out.

A CVS tree is available. try this:

$ export CVSROOT=:pserver:anon@outpost.ds9a.nl:/var/cvsroot
$ cvs login
CVS password: [enter 'cvs' (without 's)]
$ cvs co cinfo
cvs server: Updating cinfo
