Here is my configuration:
DEC Alpha 4100
        - Digital Unix 4.0d patch kit 3
        - 4 CPUs 500MHz
        - 4 GB RAM
        - Swap at 8 GB in overcommit mode
        - 300 GB disk (EMC fast-wide in RAID 5 config)
Filesystem
        UFS
        Using LSM to stripe fs's across 4 controllers
Kernel
        maxusers 1024
        max-proc-per-user = 2048
        max-threads-per-user = 2048
        max-per-proc-stack-size = 33554432
        max-per-proc-data-size = 3221225472
        max-per-proc-address-space = 3221225472
        vm-maxvas = 2147483648
        ubc-minpercent 30%
My problem:
Creating new oracle tablespaces is incredibly slow.  This could be something
set inside oracle, but where else might I look on my side for an I/O
bottleneck?  I run iostat and volstat, but don't find the results very
meaningful.
I keep thinking I must be missing something in the kernel, but I don't see
what it is.
Any ideas?
I will summarize.  Thanks.
