When this question was asked earlier, one suggestion was to capture = samples
of the SQL in v$sql, then run it through EXPLAIN PLAN to find SQL = statements
that are using indexes in this tablespace. I don't recall the success = or
failure of this method being posted.

If it really is a problem (somebody complaining, devices being=20 overloaded, whatever), then you would need to track which user(s)/apps=20 issued the LIO calls to the datablock adresses of this tablespace.

Tracking of individual LIO calls including the file number, block = number=20
and number of blocks is externalized in v$session_wait and in 10046=20 trace files (excluding exotic direct memory access methods and probably =

some decent 3rd party tools).

So putting on 10046 level 8 trace on your whole instance will show it,=20 but will require at least 42 GB of storage for the trace files and 42=20 days to interpret the results afterwards :).
