? Cache has file data blocks, and memory mapped information (i.e. files mapped with mmap() calls). It's accessed primarily via inode number.
? So, the main difference would be scope, I guess. One's more concerened with blocks on a device, the other with information in a file.? Either buffer can flush to disk, however. The buffer to the device file and the cache through the file system layer to the block device.????参考资料：1.?Red Hat Manuals2.?Linux Memory Management3.?System Performance Tuning, 2nd Edition, read?Chapter 4 Memory?online.??? or buy Chinese edition from?china-pub.http://blog.china-pub.com/more.asp?name=uniware&id=5345
