i think that would be highly dependant on your disk subsystem. what kind of
disk? I would probably just have one filesystem and stripe across 25 disks,
or if I was using a raid controller, do a raid 5 or 10. What performance
benefit do you gain from having 25 mount points?

Subject: HP vS AIX

Is it true that a typical database layout in an HP environment of many file
systems would not perform well on an AIX system due to the overhead
associated with too many file systems? I was advised in the AIX environment
the number of mount points should be kept to a minimum. E.G.. A 60 GB
database with about 25 file systems which performs well in HP platform,
what should it be like in an AIX environment?
