Earlier Oracle had to use either a file system or a
raw device to store its physical files
Things might become a little slow when it was using a file system as it has to
comply with file system standards and go through its buffering.
On the other hand ,Oracle was not able to keep multiple files in a raw device
like a file system would allow.(it will need multiple raw devices).
The solution :Write your own volume manager and own file system.
Oracle has is own file system storage solution called Oracle Automatic storage Management(ASM)
Oracle ASM is a volume manager which provides a special file system designed especially
for Oracle Databases.
