vmtouch

Portable file system cache diagnostics and control

vmtouch is a tool for learning about and controlling the file system cache of unix and unix-like systems. It can discover which files the OS is caching, tell the OS to cache or evict some files or regions of files, lock files into memory so the OS won't evict them, and more.
