[Quoted] We are installing a large Oracle 7.3.4 implementation on AIX 4.3. If we have some tables that are going to be 5 - 10 gb in size, we're wondering if it's more beneficial to configure 2-4 logical volumes so that we can then mount the filesystems as multiple pieces? Or is it better to create one huge filesystem to accommodate the tables/groups of tables? We plan to stripe data across disks and mirror the data in a HACMP cascading configuration.

I appreciate any insights on this. Please send any replies to me directly at smalis02_at_ctp.com as well as posting the reply so that I don't miss them.
Thanks,
