Does anyone have any experience with the performance implications of using raw disk devices versus going through a unix file system? I'm interested in Sybase or Oracle under SunOS 4.1.x.
Anyone have some thoughts on why I should use the UFS rather than raw devices?
How about the effect on read/write performance of disk mirroring?
Reply to me below, and I will summarize if there is enough interest. Alternatively, if this is a FAQ thing or well-hashed out stuff, could someone kindly send me a summary?
