[Lustre-discuss] Lustre inode cache tunables

Hi,

I daily run 'find /lustre' on a filesystem with many files. This
consumes a lot of memory and /proc/slabinfo reveals that
lustre_inode_cache has ~9000000 objects.

I've seen the system swapping sometimes, causing slow responses and
evictions. Any tunables for reclaming pages from the lustre_inode_cache
slab? 

/Jakob
