Dear XFS -

  Is there some way to see how much of the memory XFS uses is memory
  which will be freed when other things need it?  When running without
  swapspace, this is a useful diagnostic to have on the screen (e.g.
  XFS buffer/cache memory displayed in a different color from bloated
  user programs.)

  Here's an example of the problem.  After running a command such as:

find / -xdev -anewer /timestamp-file

  over 100 MB (!) gets "used" according to /proc/meminfo, but it
  doesn't show up differently from memory allocated by userspace
  programs.  Is there anything else in /proc which might help?

Thanks,

- Sidik
