If you run a from a A usb install there is no problem with queries. The problems typically only arise "that I have noticed" when you install from a running desktop enviroment. If you install from a live CD you get the same issues IF you install from the desktop but not if you just boot to the installer. and install. > Please stop spamming unrelated tickets with your pet theories when you clearly know absolutely nothing about how the OS/kernel works. The cache will never shrink unless forced to by memory pressure (i.e. an app requesting more mem than is available without freeing some cache pages). This is by design, and is completely unrelated to if/when they're written to disk. They're kept in memory in order to increase performance, since random free memory that's unused isn't accomplishing anything anyways, so any use of it to decrease disk access is a good thing. You'll notice large amounts of cache usage on every other major OS as well. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/6085#comment:33> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
