Thanks again for your replies.

We do a lot of regular file moves, backup to tape, etc, to keep more
than a days archivelog backups on those partitions.  

There was considerable slowness with regular file utility mv,cp, etc,
would using the Oracle coreutils with the o_direct make a difference
here?

There is not a lot of info on the modified coreutils out there, so any
thoughts are again appreciated.
