It is common to see a value of “ 0″ ( or sometimes “10” ) on database servers, telling the kernel to prefer to swap to memory for better response times. 20-30% is a good general default for “dirty_ratio,” but on large-memory database servers, this can be a lot of memory.

The data is internally inconsistent because the server concurrently modifies the data files while they are being copied. The changes done by an uncommitted transaction can be flushed or written to the redo log by the server. They are then applied (for example, writing old values back again) to the pages again and written to disk.
