Can I run a database such as Oracle directly on Suns UFS filesystem and still expect good performance?
Yes. Improvements in filesystem performance have been delivered though Solaris 8 software updates, and this trend will continue into the Solaris 9 OS. We already find that many customers rely on Sun’s UFS filesystem and volume management. Not only does this deliver adequate performance for the majority of applications, it also reduces cost and risk compared with having to integrate and manage third party solutions for storage access.
