We were experiencing performance problems on UNIX V4.0F systems
running Oracle and the problem was diagnosed as "Oracle making too
excessive system calls for statistics and trying to keep track of
system time". So the work around was to create this device special
file -
#ls -al /dev/timedev
crw-r----- 1 root system 15, 0 Nov 12 1999 /dev/timedev
so that Oracle would not cause performance issues while it keeps track
of system time.
I wanted to carry this over into V5.1 but there is already a device
special file using the same major and minor number. If anyone has seen
this, tried it or know of any workarounds that they have implemented,
we would be really thankful for that information. The device special
file in V5.1 -
#ls -al /dev/sysdev0
crw-r--r-- 1 root system 15, 0 Feb 16 14:23 /dev/sysdev0
