Hi Yong,
I agree. Yes, as far as I know, the only implication of the partition
misalignment is the performance impact:
2 reads on the storage side for a single read on the client side.
Considering that I couldn't foresee all possible effects of using
non-partitioned disk units
and that Oracle suggests to use disk partitions, I prefer to partition
the LUNs for now.
Thanks for the references: I didn't read note 1213714.1.
Regards
Dimitre
