Raw Vs JFS

[Martin Johnson]

Remember, with the raw file systems, you need oracle to backup the contents of the file systems. This add more steps and more time when trying to recover from a disaster.

If your testing shows little or no difference in performance, you would be better off going with Vxfs for the recovery improvement.

Yes, that is what I mean. You might try nodatainlog vs. datainlog for the archive/redo logs filesystems but the diffrences in performance there will be slight. Delaylog should be used in both.

I am a third party reading through this.

Nive discussion. I have been asking myself the same questions. Now I have some good answers.

Now if 9i RAC (Real-Applicaiton Clusters) would use 'cooked' files...
