I have seen the best oracle performance on ZFS by
1. match the zfs record size to oracle db_block_size
2. use the default 128k record size for oracle logs.
3. If possible use a separate zpool for the oracle logs.
   This is especially true if your workload has a high
   write component to it.

Two other knobs help (vdev cache/stb and vq_max_pending)
but i do not recommend them right now. I believe work is
already underway to have better values out-of-the-box.

Hi all,

Does anybody use Oracle on ZFS in production (but not as a
background/testing database but as a front line) ?

Robert and Daniel,

How did you put oracle on ZFS:
- one zpool    + one  filesystem
- one zpool    + many filesystems
- a few zpools + one  filesystem on each
- a few zpools + many filesystem on each
