<str<strong>on</strong>g>Oracle</str<strong>on</strong>g> VLM using shmfs or ramfs<br />

• For SGA sizes >2.7 GB, <str<strong>on</strong>g>Oracle</str<strong>on</strong>g> needs to allocate<br />

parts of the SGA through a memory mapped file<br />

system called shmfs.<br />

− The difference between both memory file system is that<br />

shmfs is pageable, ramfs is not<br />

− The init.ora parameter “use_indirect_data_buffers”<br />

determines whether <str<strong>on</strong>g>Oracle</str<strong>on</strong>g> will allocate memory<br />

through tmpfs. Set to true to enable the use of shmfs.<br />

• use_indirect_data_buffers=true<br />

• Only database buffers may reside in the<br />

shmfs/ramfs memory area. All other parts of the<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>Oracle</str<strong>on</strong>g> SGA must still reside in regular <str<strong>on</strong>g>Oracle</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

shared memory.<br />
