NOW you tawkin!  How about it, mr Oracle?  (do they still listen?)

My "trick" for that: turn on the "watch", create a small tablespace with 
a datafile, then drop the tablespace. If it's using aio, counters 
should tick over.  

Warning for the benefit of those listening in: do NOT do this
in a live system, TEST first! It's not likely this will cause any
harm but it's good form to always test any new technique.  One never
knows what combination of patches/os levels/io might possibly cause 
a problem and I certainly don't know what everyone else is running! 
For example, I've never tested this with raw files.  As always:
exercise good judgement.
