However, if all the disks that you are spreading the files out among are stripped you lose that advantage do you not? We strip then mirror, so we have multiple big strips and partition against that.

And as Kirti said, could be to balance the I/O across multiple disks.

I can't see any other reason. But again, why those tiny 50MB files? Are these on the same disk? I hope not.. If there is no I/O bottleneck issues, I would build just one 700MB file. And then monitor how it works out.. - Kirti -----Original Message----- Sent: Monday, March 04, 2002 7:23 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L OK, I know we had the debate already but lets have another go at it. Say you got a tablespace, lets call it RBS and its for rollbacks. Now, for what reason would you create a 500M file and 4 50M files for this puppy as opposed to just one file. I just cannot see the reasoning for this at all. None. Natta. Zilch. So educate me please if someone out there knows a legit reason they would do this. Lets assume for the sake of argument that disk size and mount point size is not a limitation. Space available to me on any one mount point is unlimited. ___________________________ Kimberly Smith Portland, OR [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Kimberly Smith INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
