Title: clearing cache?
Post by: binaryx on January 13, 2004, 02:52:12 am

Well, I had a small question.  What happens between the process of sending a file off of my zaurus onto the computer?  I was trying to send a sound file that I had recorded, but it \"semi-froze\" half way through the process and said I was low on memory on my Z.  So it kept doing that.  Finally, I rebooted to clear the cache and then it worked.  Is there a way to manually dump it or must I reboot?

Strange, the cache is supposed to be freed by the memory management software when extra RAM is required. Could it have been something else which was removed from memory when you rebooted? A driver, memory leak (perish the thought ;-), etc.?
