Folks,
I need some input related to some Linux settings for Oracle. The Linux distro 
is Red Hat 6.5. I have the following questions:

*         I/O scheduler - The default scheduler is Completely Fair Queuing 
(CFQ). However, it seems that for the Oracle Unbreakable Linux kernel, the 
DEADLINE I/O scheduler is the default. For Red Hat, what do people normally set 
it to for highly IO intensive ERP systems?

*         Mount point options - Are there any recommendations for the mount 
points related settings for the FC storage? (noatime, nodiratime, 
max_batch_time=0, nobarrier)

*         Any other I/O related setting(s) that one should look into changing 
from the default value?

Any feedback will be appreciated.

Tanks,
Amir
