About tuning VxFS

Veritas File System provides a set of tuning options to optimize file system performance for different application workloads. VxFS provides a set of tunable I/O parameters that control some of its behavior. These I/O parameters help the file system adjust to striped or RAID-5 volumes that could yield performance far superior to a single disk. Typically, data streaming applications that access large files see the largest benefit from tuning the file system.
