Good question - I have not worked with a single volume, however, I try to help myself a tad by making fewer redo members than I have disks. Of course I generally use 3 to 5 members per volume and always less than the number of drives per volume. I also generally allow the checkpoints to execute based on redo activity rather timed. I don't know if this will help your circumstance or not - hopefully. -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Dave Weber INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
