Oracle themselves don't have a good answer, you may get some nominal
performance increase from raw devices.  Unless the application and
environment are such that squeezing every bit of performance out of it
is necessary, then I'd advise you to use "cooked" filesystems.  From a
DBAs perspective, they are much easier to administer and manage.
