    I would say that a question like this is very much like "How much swap
    space is needed?"

    If your filesystems are fairly static, then a single JFSlog will suffice.
    If you have high amounts of I/O to filesystems, then more may be in order.
    The system error log will tell you if there are JFSlog shortcomings.

    I've run DB2 backups to 136 concurrent 2GB mount points with a single
    JFSlog and never had any JFSlog problems.

    I am in an AIX performance tunning class as of this writing.
    We were told 4 mb for each 2 gig of file system space.

    Hi All;

    What is the proper size of the JFSLog on an AIX system (either 433 or 5L)?

    I have always set it at the default of 1PP. However, I have a colleague
    that is saying that "IBM recommends a 2 MB log size per 1 GB of file system
    space."

    I can't find any documentation stating that either one is correct...does
    anyone know where I might find some?

    Thank you!
    Theresa
