Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Tuning File IO on 8.0.5 and a Netapp file system
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

on our system. We are running 8.0.5 and are using Network Appliances
as our file storage.

called the WAFL (Wrate Anywhere) file layout. This means that you really
do not configure individual drives or mount points based on individual physical
drives. The OS takes care of placing the data where it wants
to. Its prety quick and is working out well for
Oracle. But, since there are no specific drives to count up, how do
you come up with a reasonable DBWR_IO_SLAVES value on this system
??
