We are having trouble with slow exports on Oracle 8.1.7 running on a Sun
server.
Exports that used to take 30 minutes are now running 9 hours.
If I do a file system copy, it runs very fast.  So I don't think it is
the file system.
Even an export direct=y to a /dev/null file runs forever.
 
We have looked at everything.  
Any ideas?
 
Thanks!
Ron
