This argument can be proven by basic statistics without need to resort to actual testing. Mathematical proof reality of how things end up getting used. Luckily, most data access is not completely random in nature. Which was my point exactly. I've never seen a purely mathematical model

The reason rfs3_{write|create} waiting longer in txg_wait_open is because there is a syncing txg taking longer to complete. You may want to trace and track the syncing txg to get the reason for the delay. -- Prabahar. On Sun, Nov 23, 2008 at 05:51:44PM -0800, Amer Ather wrote: IHAC who is

I would add that you didn't mention what if any optimizations you made with vxfs. Specifically, a default vxfs file system will have a file system block size of 1k, 2k, 4k, or 8k, depending on the file system size. Since you are using Oracle, you should always set the file system block size to 8k,
