I recently read in an AIX tuning manual that there can be an issue when
using
journaled file systems with competition between what they call
computational
memory, and non-computational memory - non-computational being that used
to
maintain the journaled file system. It suggests that user processes can
starve for
memory if you do not set a tuning parameter to prevent these JFS memory
areas
from overtaking your computational memory. We think this could be a
situation
we have now which is why we have some excessive paging on a box with
several Oracle
instances on it. Is anyone familiar with competition between
computational and non-
computational memory when using JFS? (and how it may affect Oracle).
