Hi there,

Most of my systems use Oracle 9, AIX 5.2 & external (EMC) subsystems.

Up to now, I have been creating JFS2 inline-logged filesystems with CIO.
I have however found a document (Tuning AIX commands for JFS2 by Jaqui
Lynch) wherein it is stated: "You’ll have performance
problems with a high write workload if you use inline logs."

Considering the fact that I cannot practically predict the placement of
data on disks / nr. of spindles (since the logical hdisks I am presented
do not necessarily equate to physical disks), what is the correct policy
- inline JFS2 or not?

Can anyone here comment on what best practice should be?
