2.2 kernel 부터 들어있었으면 정말 오래전 부터인데. 메모리 양에 작동을 하던거라 존재를 몰랐을 뿐인건가?
The term, Buffer Cache, is often used for the Page Cache. Linux kernels up to version 2.2 had both a Page Cache as well as a Buffer Cache. As of the 2.4 kernel, these two caches have been combined. Today, there is only one cache, the Page Cache.
