Has anybody had success using anonymous huge pages in later versions of Red Hat or OEL ? The accepted practice has been to disable anonymous huge pages and use fixed huge pages, due to performance issues and bugs. However we are working on a project that may require the rapid provision of small test databases, which will make maintaining manual huge pages a headache. If anonymous huge pages work well now, that would be my preferred configuration.
