I'm going to be moving the tablespaces for one of our databases from raw to JFS, converting them from dictionary-managed to LMT at the same time.
I've got six striped filesystems on a RS6000 box, each about 25GB, total
about
150GB. They are 798x32MB partitions and span 6 disks/6 SCSI channels each.

My question is: would it be best to distribute the datafiles across all
these filesystems? E.G: Take a 8GB tablespace, distribute it in 2GB
chunks across 4 of these filesystems?
Thanks,
Jeff
