zfs discuss - Oct 2007 - ZFS File system and Oracle raw files compatibility

I have a customer that would like to know if the ZFS file system is
compatible with Oracle raw files.

 

Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.  Please respond directly to
me since I am not part of the zfs-discuss email alias.

If the question is "can Oracle files (datafiles, log files, etc) exist 
on a ZFS", the
answer is absolutely yes. More simply put, can you configure you Oracle 
database
on ZFS - absolutely.

The question, as stated, is confusing, because the term "compatible"
can
have pretty
broad meaning. So, I answered the question I think you wanted to ask.

Thanks,
/jim
