Re: Moving db to linux

No, you don't need any special options. JFS supports "setall" 
setting on 9.2.0.4. The little program that I wrote in the previous 
post can be used to test whether direct I/O works or not. Note that
"setall" doesn't make sense, since for the async I/O, kernel must
contain the async I/O module. Async I/O, howerever, is not a problem, 
because you can always set db_writer_processes to a value > 1 and all
database writes are done bu DBWR processes. So, the thing that you 
really need is direct I/O.
