cast your mind back if you will to 9.2.0.7 (after 9.2.0.4 anyway) and Linux
with 2.4 kernel series (RH3 in this case). I know that Oracle supports ASYNC
io and Direct IO on this platform for this version. (and what patches and
incantations were required to make async io work). This article
http://www.labs.redhat.com/magazine/013nov05/features/oracle/ seems however
to suggest that it was only in 10g that we were able to use both together.
I'm not sure I believe it, despite the source, but does anyone know/recall
any restrictions on using both async and direct io together on that sort
of platform at that time.
