I would like to understand the mechanism of "How data is written to the IRIS Database and in what sequence data is written to Journal, WIJ and IRIS database"

Is there any Cache setting that needs to be checked while configuring IRIS Community Edition 2025.2 and does it impact WIJ recovery.

Also I have kept Database, WIJ and JOURNAL on the same snapshot group with Consistency . Is it the recommended settings? Am I getting the WIJ mismatch error due to this setting?

I had configured the environment as follows:

OS: Redhat Linux 9.4

IRIS 2025.2 installed on local directory

IRIS Database: One LVM is created with 20 Storage luns and the LVM is mounted on a mount point. IRIS database is created on that

Primary and Alternate Journal: One LVM is created with 5 Storage luns and the LVM is mounted on a mount point. IRIS database is created on that.

WIJ: One LVM is created with 5 Storage luns and the LVM is mounted on a mount point. IRIS database is created on that.

So Data, WIJ and Journal is mounted on 3 separate mount point.

I have installed IRIS community edition on a local directory in Redhat Linux 9.4.

Created a 10G database on a separate mount point directory  which comes out of a storage volume of 50G.

Also placed Journal and WIJ on 2 separate mount point directories  which comes out of two different storage volume of 50G each.

I want to take a snapshot and recover the snapshot on a secondary host and check the consistency of the database. 

As Storage snapshot will be taken, only Data, Journal and WIJ file placed on Storage volumes will be snapshotted.

I am issuing "iris freeze <instance_name> to freeze the instance. I want  confirmation that no IO is going to the database so taht I can take a snapshot.
