hi:

I noticed that after upgraded from 10203 to 10204, the number of waits of
parallel write got increased a lot.

We are using lgwr async IO (_lgwr_async_io=true and disk_asynch_io=true). OS
is Solaris 10.

10204

I checked several databases, all of them had the same behavior.

I tried to find some docs to explain this on metalink, but I didn't find
anything.

Did anybody also have such change before? What's the reason behind this?

And I'm curious what the result is if _lgwr_async_io is false.

Thanks in advance.
