As in all cases, it depends.

In our case we still follow the OFA to some extent.
Our SAN is broken down into "quick small disks" and "slloooww big disks".
So we can assign different filesystems to different disk groups (archived
data etc on the slow disks, current data on the quick disks).

Works well for us.

To All,
It's Fridayyyyyyyy! Partyyyyyyyyyy! Hehe. Now so fast! It's test
time! Hehe. Can you win "the COKE"? hehe.

Question: Now that we are using SANs, etc, there is no longer a need
to continue to use the Oracle Optimal Flexible Architecture (OFA)
guidelines. True or False. Please provide proof! Hehe.
