Funny: the Oracle papers in metaclick claim that RH3 does NOT support direct IO for file systems and 9ir2. Only for NFS files.

In fact, they claim that this happens only in NFS datafiles. That is what the patch you mentioned before (2448994) claims. this 3186784 patch is now different again.
I wonder: has Oracle support stooped so low that their advice now as to what a patch does is so completely wrong we have to test EVERY single grain of functionality to make sure their contents are what they claim?
Lovely...
