True Stig.

However that implies that there will be no difference between 9i and 10G
and I am seeing a big difference.
The only set up I have not got yet is a 9i install and a 10G on the same
server with local disk. I am working on that next

Subject: RE: 10G and UFS - long write times

As I read your description you are basically comparing I/O writes on SAN

disks and local disks.
Is that what you are doing on various Oracle versions?

If it is, then note: Solaris using local disks (ie. in the very same box
as 
the CPU) will Always perform a write all they way down on disk -
verified 
writes!!
If disks are remote/attached Solaris "allows" itself to rely on writes
being 
successfully submittet to the remote I/O-systems (ie. the SAN, T3, 
whatever....).

In simple words: Local disk are waaaaayyyyy slower than SAN and remote
disk 
subsystems.
