I've been trying all day from both work and home and cannot get onto the site. Thanks!

I'm interested in things like FILESYSTEMIO_OPTIONS and DISK_ASYNC_IO etc. and also in a general overview on how ZFS works and how to monitor it from a DBA perspective. Searched Oracle and Sun websites without much luck so far. Many thanks! Charlotte -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
