Raw disk or UNIX file system?

Am just becoming new to Oracle.  I assume Oracle lets you
use either UNIX files or raw disk space.  I had one person
tell me Oracle recommends UNIX files.



I find this hard to believe.  The UNIX file system is an
extra layer not optimized for retrieving data from a table.
It's also a buffering mechanism that could ptentially lie
to Oracle about commited data actually being out on disk.



Which is better?
