Alex, I don't have access to a system right now but I think x$ksmls could have the info u're looking for.

Unfortunately, I cannot find any X$ table for large pool that is similar to x$ksmsp. Large pool is managed differently than shared pool and has no LRU list for example. However, I would still expect to find large pool map somewhere. I tried to find something in X$KSMMEM but I couldn't identify there what I'm looking for. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
