Depends on your LINUX version... You need at least a linux that supprt raw
devices at all. Then you have to look
up for a patch that fixes problems with 8KB page access during high I/O
activity. Recommende try is www.suse.de
I talked with our factory and got the information, that they did not had any
problems at all, but know about
a custumer who got the problems above. But nobody knows if there was ever an
officially released patch. That is
all i could find out about it.

SAPDB does these things without need of an extra tool. Actually one of those
features, that
really makes SAPDB nice for administrators ;-) There is no need for planned
downtime. All garbage
elimination is done by background tasks inside SAPDB. If you feel to need to
update your statistic
information look for UPDATE STATISTIC command in your documentation.

I am already sorry, that i answered your question in too much detail. As
Elke mentioned
forget about LiveCache. You can do this with normal SQL statements.
