Hi,

I installed a fresh AIX 5.3.0.10 on a lpar.

I want to copy few files (total : 2,6Go) from one jfs2 to another one::

the src is mounted with cio,rw option
the dst is mounted with rbrw,rw option

cp /src/* /dst takes 4m43s !!!

If I umount the src, and remove the cio option,

cp time is now 20s

Does someone can help me ?

I need cio as the src folder is for oracle dbf files (according several notes, it has to be cio mounted)

Regards

Philippe

Hi

It seems the cp (as well backup command) have serious trouble when the cio mount option is used.

I used rbrw as mount option and setup in oracle ilesystemio_options=setall

Oracle is working fast enough and my savevg is fast as it should be

Hi

Try using another options for cp command. I use the scp command. Or the tar script you can use for copying purposes:

tar cf - * | ( cd /target; tar xfp -)

Depending on your tar version you might need to use the pax command instead of the tar one. Installaing tha tar version that comes with the Linux for AIX toolbox is another option.

Hope this helps
