Hi
The problem is my tablespace will have over 30GB and having 8 datafiles where one has 2gb and other 1 and other 1 and one 26gb.... doesnt seem reasonable

I agree with you. I was just trying to explain from where the "round-robin" stuff comes from... No more no less.

One more, I completely agree. Such stuffs, i.e. spreading extents over many files, were performed loooong time ago to spread data over many disks. Today, usually, it makes no more sense.
