Any one have any experience with concurrent access mounted directory for Oracle
databases?
AIX 5.2 with Maint level 1.

4 way striped logical volumes with 64K stripe size.

A simple dd if=/dev/zero of=filename bs=4096 runs incredibly slow. IBM's
whitepaper on this indicates I should see very good performance.

The actual database runs about 30% slower than with normal, cached I/O.
