Too Little Cache Memory Displayed During the Boot Process
Support knowledgebase (sw_cache)
Applies to
SuSE Linux: All versions
Symptom:
During the boot process, the displayed cache memory is less
(approx. 40 KB) than the actual hard disk's cache memory.
Cause:
Hard disk manufacturers require some memory for its firmware. The
required memory is integrated in the cache, but is officially regarded
as cache for disk data.
Solution:
Linux displays the actual available cache memory for the disk data.
Therefore, the output is correct and no solution can be provided.
