Re: Qstn: Can we have ASE 16 on raw level data built upon file-systems

If you are referring to NFS mounted devices from a NFS filer such as NetApp - then absolutely.   If discussing NFS filesystems from a different host - then no.

 

Pro's & Con's of raw vs. file system

 

Pro's (raw):    Good performance without a lot of extra effort

Con's (raw):   You need to size correctly upfront - less flexibility

 

Pro's (filesystem):  Greater flexibility in device sizes, locations

Con's (filesystem):  Unless you know how to tune the filesystem (e.g. disabling journaling, etc.), tune the IO scheduler, etc., performance can be a bit muddled compared to raw.   With tuning, on some hosts, it might exceed raw.

 

The actual decision is more likely dependent on your SA's.   If they get locked in on tuning file systems for capacity and generically do them all the same - no exceptions - then go raw just to remove the headache of dealing with them.
