Dear fellows of the Oracle,
From Red Hat and Oracle Linux 7 onwards, XFS is the default file system of
the OS.
At a customer site, XFS was already the preferred file system, so the
customer chose to stick to it for a new VM with OL7 and Oracle 12.1.0.2.
I think this is a key points - "stick it on a VM". You didn't mention
which one, and what type of virtualisation (PVM, HVM, HVM with PV
drivers, ...). It might be that you get contention on I/O outside the VM
so depending on your product you should have a look at the overall host
settings. In addition to contention on hardware you might see QoS turned
on throttling you down.
I have only positive experience with XFS, in my lab it proved far
superior to ext4 even on my very old and slow hardware:

I can only second the other points mentioned by Stefan.
Hope that helps,
Martin
