Hi folks,
We need to relocate a ~300GB LOB segment from one tablespace to another 
tablespace. The MOVE command, when ran against copy of production, took 
somewhere around 20 hours to relocate the LOB. When I ran the ALTER TABLE.... 
Command with parallel option and traced it with 10046, it seems that under the 
hood the operation was getting serialized. I was wondering if anyone has 
experience with relocating large LOB segments and what approach was taken to 
minimize the down time. Any feedback will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Amir
