Not that I'm aware of. Linux uses all the spare RAM for cache,
because having spare RAM unused would be a waste. If a process
actually needs more RAM (because it's starting up and allocating
memory, say), then some files are evicted from cache to make space.
There's a "swappiness" control that governs how much working set
(i.e. the memory actually used by applications and not otherwise on
disk) is swapped out to the pagefile, and how aggressively, but that
won't help you with the filesystem cache bits.

Why? :)
(If the answer is, "someone thinks that the machine is short of RAM
and they need more", then some education is in order).
