I just had to restart x because I was playing with keyboard layouts, trying
to get the alt keys to properly type the 3rd level chars and screwing it
all up, and when I had done the restart, that line in slabinfo was
somewhat reset:
[root@coyote root]# grep buffer_head /proc/slabinfo
buffer_head 46789 78858 48 78 1 : tunables 120 60
0 : slabdata 1011 1011 0
And frankly I don't know enough about it to state it as a fact. Time will
tell though.
