FYI : Bug on asynch Io for Aix 4.3 / Oracle 9.2

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I opened a TAR and was just told that this issue has been logged under Bug 2510406 ( UNPUBLISHED) fixed in 10i.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.
