Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Statspack reliability
I've checked on metalink and there are several bugs on the subject.
Also, when checking in Statspack File I/O section, only one file (raw device
in our case) has suffered from the waits.
I guess that if it was really waiting on read operations more than one
file/raw device would have suffer from waiting .

Its probably internal 4 byte integers that wrap around. All the X$ tables on which the V$ views are build really are simple integers internally, but they are externalised to Oracle numbers without any check for wrapping.

Hi all,

Last week, on one database, we had 3 numbers that were 100000 times bigger
than usual.
2 were about df file sequential read that were over 100000 times the
average.

I checked on the unix side.
For the first Oracle wait I had a spike in the IO performance graph (disk
read/write per sec) but it was for writing. For the second and third Oracle
wait, I had nothing on the unix side.
So is that a glitch in statspack or where else can I look ?
