PerformanceConsiderations - there is no "Buffer Cache" anymore #177

Closed Nikratio closed 2 years ago

Nikratio commented 2 years ago

https://github.com/archiecobbs/s3backer/wiki/Performance-Considerations is a bit out of date. Since kernel 2.4.10, there is no "buffer cache" anymore, there is only the page cache.

For more details, see eg. https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/understanding-the-linux/0596005652/ch15s02.html
