* The least recently used (LRU) lists are used to keep popular buffers in the cache and to find free buffers.

It is important to understand that the buffer headers, not the actual buffers, make up these three lists. I will provide details about these lists later in this chapter.

Figure 6-5 shows the relationship between a single buffer header and the various lists. For example, buffer header BH 100 is on LRU 1 and also on CBC 2. Buffer header BH 180 is on CBC 1 and also on Write List 1. A three-dimensional figure would show that a single buffer header always resides on a CBC and either an LRU chain or a write list.
