I am looking for some basic profiling data for the file system buffer cache. Ideally, there has been a study of how the load type, buffer cache size, run queue size, file system block size, etc. affect: - average percentage of buffers locked (waiting for I/O) - average percentage of dirty cache buffers (in need of flushing) - variations in those percentages In the likely case nobody has actually profiled such things, perhaps there was some modeling study which makes an educated guess. Thanks. Mike Cherepov
