Another handy item for Oracle folks is: http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/orion/index.html
Allows you to simulate Oracle I/O loads on disk configurations without actually having to install Oracle and find a database big enough to stress test your filesystem configuration and get your DBAs involved (at least at first). It also gives you an apples-to-apples comparison with different implementations on different I/O architectures. Very helpful in finding Oracle disk performance problems. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
