This figure describes an example of the number of locks assigned to each file. The examples for each file appear as ratios for the example setting of:

GC_FILES_TO_LOCKS = 1:300,2:200,3-5:100

For this example:

File 1 has 300 locks assigned to it.

File 2 has 200 locks assigned to it.

Files 3 through 5 have 100 locks assigned to them.
