OK, you've got me curious now. With Oracle 10g+ on AIX, where
filesystemio_options=setall and the database files are on JFS2, DBWR
will implicitly use CIO, even if CIO isn't specified on the mountpoint.
CIO should not be used anywhere else for the database (e.g. not on redo
logs or binaries), per Oracle and IBM.

Are you saying that one should purposely _not_ use CIO on AIX? It seems
like that would incur performance penalties for the DBWR, including
dbfile creation/extension and restores.
