hi all

i'm running a 24/7 box which at this time only serves iso torrents (debian images).
analyzing the status of the machine with sar/rrdtool shows that the file cache gets resetted from time to
time and i'm asking myself how to avoid that.
have a look:

the grey area is free mem, green is file buffers, saturday i've putted some more 4g in the machine (later use will be a mysql server)
the green file buffer often gets down to zero, then slowly up just to fall down again.

seems the filecache is somehow connected to the programs accessing files.
everytime i stop the program (transmission in this case) the filecache drops down...

kind of odd because i thought the filecache would run independently and the datachunks
are managed only by a kind of lru-list.. i guess its solved.. simply dont stop programs :?
