j2_maxPageReadAhead & j2_nBufferPerPagerDevice and CIO
Hi Guys,
At the moment I'm experiencing a problem where one of the filesystems is being locked up because it looks like is running out of buffers and according to IBM a workaround should be decreasing the size of the
j2_maxPageReadAhead. My question is what if I turn on CIO at the filesystem level . I wonder whether enabling CIO then will bypass all these filesystems buffers such as j2_nBufferPerPagerDevice and j2_nBufferPerPagerDevice . Any thoughts?. Actually I forget to mention this is on AIX 5.3.
Harby.

Hi Guys,
I just wondering if any of the AIX gurus with some exposure to Linux Redhat can tell me whether in Linux ( Red Hat or OpenSuse ) we have a similar option/capability like the CIO (Concurrent I/O) which is currently available on AIX. The reason I'm asking is because in the past we... (2 Replies)

local-filesystems
local-filesystems(7) Miscellaneous Information Manual local-filesystems(7)
NAME
local-filesystems - event signalling that local filesystems have been mounted
SYNOPSIS
local-filesystems [ENV]...
DESCRIPTION
The local-filesystems event is generated by the mountall(8) daemon after it has mounted all local filesystems listed in fstab(5). moun-
tall(8) emits this event as an informational signal, services and tasks started or stopped by this event will do so in parallel with other
activity.
This event is typically used by services that must be started in order for remote filesystems, if any, to be activated. Remember that some
users may not consider it wrong to place /usr on a remote filesystem. For most normal services the filesystem(7) event is sufficient.
This event will never occur before the virtual-filesystems(7) event.
EXAMPLE
A service that wishes to be running once local filesystems are mounted might use:
start on local-filesystems
