Linux

There are a whole bunch of installation guides authored by the community on OTN's "Oracle on Linux Installation Menu" page.

I video-d Oracle's Linux engineers speaking at LinuxWorld SF 2007 last summer; lots of great info about how the Oracle Unbreakable Linux program works:

kamranirshad Memory usage on X64 Linux AS Release 4 update 5 Mar 10 2008, 11:07 AM EDT by kamranirshad
Thread started: Feb 5 2008, 11:07 AM EST  Watch
Hi,
Can someone please explain the concept of "cached" memory in Linux and how it is managed.
We have installed 10g Release 2 database on X64 Linux . The server has 8 GB of RAM. Using NMON, we are noticing that the "FREE Memory" keeps on reducing and "Cached Memory" keeps on increasing. Currently, the FREE memory is showing as 787MB and Cached memory is 5690 MB. When we started the server about a couple of days ago, the FREE memory was 7329MB and cached memory was 462 MB. So, within 2 days, the cached memory has increased from 462 MB to 5690 MB and the free memory has decreased from 7329MB to 787 MB.

Is this normal? Do we need to tweak some settings at Linux level / Database level to fix this?

Thanks

Could anyone out there advice me on this. We will migrate our Oracle9 RAC servers to Oracle10 and do not know which 'shared FS' to use. Currently we are using OCFS2 but with Oracle10G ASM could be an option but also GSF is. Please help me with some real-life stories or an excellent scientific one.
