We do not define filesystemio_options in our init.ora file.
But:
SQL> show parameter filesystemio
 
NAME                                 TYPE        VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
filesystemio_options                 string      asynche/PR2/920_64/dbs/
 
The value for $ORACLE_HOME is /oracle/PR2/920_64.
So it looks to me it replaced the first 6 characters in the path name to
init.ora file with "asynch". Is this the default value for filesystemio_options 
?

From Steve Adams:
http://www.ixora.com.au/notes/filesystemio_options.htm

"Similarly, the parameter may need to be set to either directIO or setall
to avoid buffered I/O against file systems that support direct I/O but do
not provide a direct I/O mount option."

Solaris does provide a direct I/O option so you don't need to touch
filesystemio_options.  In addition, "setall" enables async I/O which I
don't think you can do against a UFS volume.  (Or CAN you?)
