RE: log writer tuning

What you really need is more spindles to do your writes. how you stripe them, blah blah is another huge discussion. try raw, will help.

...that is too general a statement. Care to benchmark that? Direct I/O and RAW perform the same for sequential writes *most platforms). Cary and I just explained yesterday that it may not even be an I/O service time issue to start with.
