$ # read two first pages from file, after which these will probably be cached $ dd if=file-to-examine of=/dev/null bs=8096 count=1 2> /dev/null

$ # verify that these two pages have been cached $ pagecache file-to-examine Page cache for 'file-to-examine' (file size=99007, page size=4096): 1100000000000000000000000 Summary: 2/25 (8%) pages cached
