在Oracle 10g中，db file parallel write 被归属为系统I/0等待类，如果你检查到了系统出现了大量的db file parallel write事件，表明你的I/O有问题。这时你可以检查db file parallel write ，write complete waits，free buffer waits的平均等待时间

SQL> select event,time_waited,average_wait from v$system_event where event in
  2  ('db file parallel write','write complete waits','free buffer waits');

EVENT                                                            TIME_WAITED AVERAGE_WAIT
---------------------------------------------------------------- ----------- ------------
db file parallel write                                                   284          .67

我这里由于是测试机器，没有出现 write complete waits,free buffer waits 等待事件

AVERAGE_WAIT的值应该小于1(百分之一秒)，如果AVERAGE_WAIT大于10（十分之一秒）,表明非常缓慢的I/O，出现了db file parallel write 时常也会伴随write complete waits等待，如果是非常繁忙的OLTP系统，还可能出现free buffer waits，因为缓慢的I/0势必影响前台进程。db file parallel write只属于DBWR进程独有，不要被名字迷惑了，不要误解为该事件与并行DML有关。
