Interesting idea, thanks for the suggestion and pull-request. It's basically a rate-limit on how much memory should be touched per second right? I'll try to give the code a review...

Yes, you're right vmprobe does that, although I'd like to backport the feature to vmtouch since it is much more widely used. Let's leave this open and hopefully I (or...

Yes I agree, unfortunately I don't really want to change vmtouch's output at this point since I know some people parse its output with scripts and I don't want to...

Hey sorry was just going through my backlog and noticed I forgot to reply: >> Will doing a lot of small, or single file, vmtouch commands cause significantly overhead as...

Not exactly the same, but you can choose a range of the file to evict with `-p`. For example, suppose you had a 100M file, you could run: vmtouch -e...

Hi! Most likely yes. If you paste the exact error it would help confirm. There are some more details on this resource limit described here: https://github.com/hoytech/vmtouch/blob/master/TUNING.md
