Oracle DBAs,
Perhaps I need to dig up the DBA FAQ (I read through the user one), but
I need some information about creating Oracle databases on Raw Logical
Volumes vs. standard Unix file systems.
What are the advantages? Are they that much faster? We have a 6-8 GB
One of the options that has come up is, do we want to move to a raw
logical volume? I'm worried that we'll lose something in the process,
but I'm willing to try it if it helps with speed. Have any of you had
good luck with this? Has anyone else done it under AIX 3.2.5? Any
problems?
