Re: Prod 18c on ACFS

Hi Ricard!

I've used both and I haven't seen any significant difference in performance. ACFS performs well and is much easier to use than ASM. I have a problem with ASM because it is not possible to overwrite a file. That means that if I have to restore a file, I first have to delete the existing version. And since ACFS is running on top of ASM, you get all the perks of balanced disks. You can also do snapshots. There is a separate license for ACFS but ACFS does support snapshots. You can also use classic file system utilities like lsof, ls, tar, cpio, cp and many, many others. You don't need ASMCMD.

Regards
