Covering all aspects of Oracle disk I/O tuning, this book explores disk performance, RAID management, Oracle data file performance, and Oracle data segment internals. Also explored is physical disk... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Because disk I/O is the main issue with Oracle this is a most-needed book and one that I recommend because it is through and has details about how to tell when disk is a problem and when you can monitor and fix disk I/O in Oracle databases.
Outstanding Coverage of Oracle disk Internals

I'm an unabashed fan of Mike Ault and I have every one of his books. Mike has always emphasized the importance of disk I/O in Oracle tuning and I'm glad to finally have a whole book on the topic. The text is very Oracle-centric, concise and shows all of the areas where Oracle performance declines from a bad disk layout. Rather than just being an overview, Ault dives deep into the I/O internals and shows at a microscopic level how Oracle interacts with the disk I/O sub-system. This is one of Mike's best books in years, and that's really saying something.
