Hello,

Platform is Oracle Linux 6.2 64-bit with Oracle 11.2.0.3 64-bit.

After enabling async io, I see slower performance for data pump exports, RMAN backups and long-running queries (between 10 and 15% slower).

I enabled async io with:

ALTER SYSTEM SET FILESYSTEMIO_OPTIONS=SETALL SCOPE=SPFILE; aio-nr is 19052 and aio-max-nr is 1048576. Storage is on iSCSI.

Anyone else with the same experience? Is extra tuning for async io possible on Oracle Linux?

Thanks,
