We have experience numerous problems with high transaction load databases. The i/o drivers and memory drivers have proven to be unstable. The largest problem seems to occur with the memory drivers. Try running a linux database with and SGA over 1GB. We have been able to duplicate these experiences on Redhat 7.1 - 7.3, running Oracle 8.1.7.3 EE. We have better success running the 2.2 kernel. We plan on testing Redhat AS 2.1. Otherwise we may stop recommending linux boxes as oracle database servers.

A particularly bad experience was running a 200+ GB data mart on a linux box.

If you are running a large production db on oracle/linux, I would really like to hear about the configuration.

Thanks,

-Daniel
