Description

« Hide

When working with large databases Windows consumes all RAM for filesystem cache and may bluescreen.

The underlying issue is well-documented. See how it affects IBM Domino, for example: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=463&context=SSKTMJ&dc=DB560&dc=DB520&uid=swg21377517&loc=en_US&cs=UTF-8&lang=en&rss=ct463lotus

To fix we implemented FileSystemCacheSize setting in firebird.conf that controls the amount of RAM used for caching.
