We're running 11.2.0.3 RAC on Linux and the lms processes have a priority of -2; I was at a company running 10.2.0.3 RAC on Linux and, if I remember correctly, the lms processes were still at a negative priority, but I don't believe it was a -51. Unfortunately (for you, at least) I can't check that but maybe a former colleague of mine can. I'll let you know what I find out from her, if anything.

I'm curious what priority your LMS processes run in? One of our DBAs here has a system that is giving him fits and I was looking at it and it seems [to me] that LMS priority for his clusters is way too low but I'm still fairly new to RAC and digging into the internals so wanted to get your thoughts?
