dirty_background_bytes

Submitted by admin on Tue, 2009-12-01 03:51

Contains the amount of dirty memory at which the pdflush background writeback daemon will start writeback.

If dirty_background_bytes is written, dirty_background_ratio becomes a function of its value (dirty_background_bytes / the amount of dirtyable system memory).
