cell single block physical read with index creation

LauryNov 5 2014 — edited Nov 13 2014

Hi,

I have an Oracle RDBMS 11gR2 EE that uses Exadata,

I have a process that has the followiing steps:

1) Disable all constraint

2) Drop index

3) Truncate table

4) Repopulate table from other kind of data

5) Recreate index

6) Reenable constraints

The involed table is compressed with HCC option.

When I run the step 5) it takes quite some time and one of the main wait event is "cell single block physical read".

CanĀ  someone explain me why I get why I get this wat event instead of a smart scans?

Thanks and Regards.
