OSF'ers
After running a large database report I am finding that the free memory page
list (vmstat) drops drastically.
I have been told that this is a common problem with databases that use regular
files instead of raw devices. The pages lost are allocated to the Unified
Buffer Cache (UBC).
How do I limit the percentage of memory used by the UBC ?
This is standard (347) 3.0 of OSF/1.
I will produce a summary of the replies.
Thanks,
Geoff.
