Your reference to the Red Hat documentation states 150000 to be the default in Red Hat, and in my Debian, where I have not touched this value, it is also set to 150000.Might 150000 be a typographical error too? ;-) On my machine... # cat /proc/sys/vm/watermark_boost_factor 15000 Which matches the default in the kernel source code [1] and 'git blame' shows that line hasn't been changed since the original commit in 2018 [2] [1] https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/page_alloc.c?id=169387e2aa291a4e3cb856053730fe99d6cec06f#n354 [2] https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=1c30844d2dfe272d58c8fc000960b835d13aa2ac
You are right. 15000 is the value I wanted to write. Shame on me. Sorry. Marco
