Thanks Dave, Don, and Patrice.

It's hardware RAID, a Compaq GS140 machine, and Oracle on VMS [not my choice of OS/hardware]. Limited to one large RAID5 volume.

I'd like to make the most of what's there, because for political reasons nothing else will change.

Does it make any sense to increase the number of database writer processes on a system with nothing but RAID5 space? Looks like there's a bit of slowdown on checkpoints.

Thanks.
