I have a Dell 4600 with a PERC quad channel raid controller attached to an external disk array (14 disks). I am running Oracle 9i on Red Hat Linux. I am running an import from an Oracle 8i database and normalizing the data. My 3 import files are between 2-4GB each compressed, but grow to between 25-40GB each uncompressed. It takes approximately 10 hours to import these into my database. I currently have three disk arrays set up in RAID 0 to achieve as much speed as possible (so far). My question is, would it help my performance if I were to turn off RAID on the controller(s) and use LVM? Any suggested configs would be helpful.
