Re: partitioning in an NAS or SAN environment

[Carel-Jan Engel]

At the site of one of my customers, in a not too big (100GB) database environment, using NAS over NFS on RS/6000 with AIX gave us far from enough throughput. It turned out that much more mountpoints (20 i.s.o. 2) were necessary to get a more-or-less satisfactory throughput.

most of the oracle docs state that when you partition a table you will get the most performance benefits by splitting the datafiles for each partition onto seperate storage devices.

Im on an NAS and all I see are logical mount points. What are your recommendations for this?
