Amir:

DFS is the distributed File System lock.. Remember the old OPS
parameter GC_FILES_TO_LOCKS. There is a discussion about
_fairness_threshold in the OWI book and a lot more detailed discussion
will be available in RAC book,  Basically we disown the ownership of
the blocks if too many requests come for the specific block.  10gR2
has better remastering algorithm which transfers the ownership of the
object instead of the block when it is touched too many times in
within certain time (_gc_affinity_time and _gc_affinity_limit).



Regards,
Gopal
