wish it were that simple honestly, but this is a third-party product. means going back to the vendor. but i am testing possiblilities just to see what they say ...

more weird activity: recent query on dba_data_files hung on a file open wait (i assume accessing a controlfile) and only completed when all the queueing sessions completed. start a new session now, same query, result back immediately as one would expect.

i have a horrible feeling the answer is right in front of me, but w/the unix team denying IO issues (and my checking seemingly prove they are correct) and oracle not playing nice ... am sort of feeling a bit beat at the mo'.
