Optimizing File System PerformanceUse OLTP and DSS workloadsResults with various database tuning options●●RAW vs EXT3/GFS/NFS w/ o_direct (ie directIO in iozone)ASYNC IO options●RHEL3 – DIO+AIO not optimal (page cache still active)●RHEL4●EXT3 supports AIO+DIO out of the box●GFS – U2 full support AIO+DIO / Oracle cert●NFS – U3 full support of both DIO+AIO●HUGHMEM kernels on x86 kernelsHugeTLBS – use larger page sizes (ipcs)
