-- the bad (w.r.t everything)
LOL. What a mess when I actually read those articles, glad I asked
/someone/ first before wasting my time. The best part was the link to
the email responses which I'd not seen before. Can you say death
spiral? And, I noticed the webzine removed the first article. ;-)

-- the good (w.r.t storage technology)
Actually, like /someone/ also said, one should not overlook (as good)
the performance tuning guide (and concepts guide) for basic DB
recommendations, e.g. disk RAID configurations or ASM. You already
mentioned papers posted at Hotsos, etc., like SANE SAN (morle) and
Optimal Storage Configuration (Loaiza), which are good but slightly
behind the storage technology curve.

Even though these good papers are slightly /behind/ w.r.t current
enterprise LINUX storage technology and Oracle ASM, one can infer the
improvements with LVM, grab a couple LINUX LVM docs off the web or
pick up a book on LINUX LVM. Also, recent SAN/DAS storage technology
updates can be found in books or on the web.

Regards,

Mike
