After recognising that filesystemio_options parameter is corrupted
(it showed asuncche_size value instead of asynch) even after the
database was rebounced, I changed it to asynch dynamically
and trussed CKPT process.

There are calls for open() subroutine but they are with DSYNC flag:

open("/<...>/system01.dbf", O_RDWR|O_DSYNC|O_LARGEFILE) = 13
open("/<...>/tools01.dbf", O_RDWR|O_DSYNC|O_LARGEFILE) = 17
open("/<...>/users01.dbf", O_RDWR|O_DSYNC|O_LARGEFILE) = 16


And all that for file system mounted with CIO option.

Looks like file system mounted with CIO
without changed database parameter might worsen database
performance.

Not positive on this, but I think it's because in 9i Oracle doesn't
issue the O_CIO flag with its file open calls, so it relies on the
filesystem's default mount options.

If this is the case, why is it required then to mount the FS with cio
for 9i even if you set it to 'setall'.
