Subject: [DNG] Caching leads to unresponsiveness
Linux uses all available more for caching of filesystems. When copying
large files to slow network filesystems (nfs, smb, sshfs, davfs) it
takes a long time until such allocated memory becomes free. When these
network filesystems saturate memory linux becomes very unresponsive. It
can take minutes to start applications.

Is there a way to limit memory usage of network filesystems?
