When I take a look at /proc/meminfo (kernel version 2.4.0 (4GB RAM
enabled) I find that almost a third of my RAM is classified as
"Inact_dirty". Does anyone have a good explanation of what this means.
The kernel source code "fs/proc/proc_misc.c" gets this value from
K(nr_inactive_dirty_pages).

Please -- no porn site jokes.

TIA
Ed.
