Exadata CELL Flash Cache Drop Recreate One exadata CELL had strange flash card io statistics as below. It was not using the card. Rebooting CELL service or rebooting cell server did not made any change. # iostat -xn 1 Device: rrqm/s wrqm/s r/s w/s rsec/s wsec/s avgrq-sz avgqu-sz await r_await w_await svctm %util nvme1n1 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 So, we dropped and recreated flashcache as below, than it started using that flash disk very well.
