11.2.0.2的RAC系统中原本有一张大的分区表，之前为了测试exchange分区的性能需要将这张分区表上的部分分区数据复制到测试用表上，因为数据量比较大所以记以录之:

磁盘不太给力 

hdparm -tT /dev/sdd

/dev/sdd:
 Timing cached reads:   13672 MB in  2.00 seconds = 6840.55 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:  605 MB in  3.02 seconds = 200.33 MB/sec

cat /proc/cpuinfo |grep processor|wc -l
8

直接将源分区插入到目标分区表中
