Hi listers, I discovered recently that the init.ora parameter filesystemio_options defaulted to none in 9.2 on Aix 4.3.3. (In 8i it was hidden and defaulted to asynch).
This parameter is mainly here to help avoid OS bugs / problems by disabling certain types of IO (I think mainly Aio) on file systems. I opened a TAR and was just told that this issue has been logged under Bug 2510406 ( UNPUBLISHED) fixed in 10i. Abstract: " FILESYSTEMIO_OPTIONS IS SET TO "NONE" WITH A DEFAULT ON AIX " As the Oracle analyst couldn't say what was the impact if I put it back to asynch, I asked for a backport in 9.2. I asked also for an alert.
