Hello Nigel,
it is definitely rounding error (2,875 -> 4 ;)  ).
It is really pitty that my emplyer dowsn't round up my salary int this way ;)

Anyway, the databases are running pretty well even with 4 DB writer processes.

Best Regards. Milen

(16 + 7)/8 = 3, not 4

    Hello Vladimir,
    as fas as know, according to Oracle the optimal count of DB writer
    processes is
    "(CPU_COUNT+7)/8". For 16 CPUs that would give you 4 DB Writer
    processes.
    I have used this setting (also with VxFS), and there were no problems.

    HTH. MILEN
