I just ran some tests and I was shocked at the results. I assume I am missing something very obvious. Exporting data 2 million row table: EMC disk on UFS filesystem: 50 sec EMC disk raw space: 3 min 8 sec NetApp disk UFS filesystem: 48 sec NetApp disk raw space: 3 min 7 sec What should I be looking at? Why such a big difference? I am running Oracle EE 9.2.0.3 on Solaris 2.8.
