Re: JFS Log Sizing

Use standard JFS log sizes unless you see JFS Log overrun errors in the
errorlog.

You can have a 2GB filesystem that get written to 100x per day and that
wont overrun the jfslog, but you can have a 30MB filesystem that gets
written to a gazillion times per day and that might overrun the jfslog. It
is not as dependent on filesystem size, as it is on activity.

Are there any AIX guidelines regarding the proper sizing of JFS logs. I
have a note that says a 4 MB jfslog is required for every 2 GB file system.
Is this correct?
