It seems that you could recompile your tar and patch commands to use the POSIX_FADVISE(2) feature with the POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE flags. It seems these would cause the tar and patch commands to not clutter the page cache at all. It'd be nice to be able to make a wrapper out of this kind of like the fakeroot(1) command like such as: nocachesuck tar xvfz kernel.tar.gz ya know what I mean? -- Jeffrey Hundstad - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
