Has anyone tested ACFS with IO intensive databases, like a very busy Oracle ERP system? I would be interested to know the findings.

I've been using ACFS. Very simple and available even if the db is down (not if ASM is down). it has been very good (especially with 8 nodes)

I know a couple of our customers that are heavy users of ACFS. One shop still uses the old Veritas clustered file system product, though I suspect the longevity of that product to be in question. Matt
