Hi friends:
    While reading the following paper: 
http://de.sun.com/Partner/Softwarepartner/Oracle/Technik/pdf/oracle_on_sun.pdf
    It says for oracle 8.1.7/ufs, aio is by default disabled. We must enable it 
explictly with _filesystemio_options=asynch. Is it true? For aio on raw 
device/QuickIO, we can see truss -t kaio -p dbwr to verify it, for aio on 
filesystem, how to verify it then?
    And other question about solaris, that doc also says, with solaris 8 update 
3, there is concurrent directIO for ufs. Is it a feature of ufs, or a feature 
of solaris kernel? If it is a ufs feature, then even with solaris 8 update 3, I 
cannot use this feature on vxfs/solaris8 update 3.If it is a feature of solaris 
kernel, I think CDIO is also ok on vxfs, is it  true? 
    And how can I know whether my solaris 8 is using update 3+ via command line 
like compare the kernel version (uname -a)?

Thanks.
zhu chao.
