Re: AWS EC2 image with ASM

If I can say something that could be a little controversial, an Oracle database will run really well with an xfs file system - close to raw i/o performance - with a properly tuned lvm and disk - so like if you line up the block size, with strip size, configure the lvm/xfs etc. - old school stuff basically. Then you can use lvm / xfs to manage + just use then the old school ways of looking and managing files. I mean of course it requires a little bit of investent in linux disk skills but it is not all that complicated.

Anyway, just some Friday morning thoughts :) Take it for what it is worth!
