<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=468433901-26032006>Yes ,
I have already done that. You have just to create logical or physical hard
disks dedicated to Informix. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=468433901-26032006>For
instance "/dev/hdc"</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN
class=468433901-26032006>Then open the raws configuration file
situated on /etc/sysconfig/rawdevices I think. BTW, I beleive that on
one previous fedora version, the raw device tricks was not
fonctionning very well. Fedora 1 or 2 ? Do not
remember. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=468433901-26032006>Then
add a line corresponding to you device either via the device number "major and
minor" or via the path I beleive.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN
class=468433901-26032006>Finally restart the service associated to the raw
device, if I remember well....</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=468433901-26032006>Then
you should see you raw device running raw -qa I think.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

255.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

more.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

Informix on Linux<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<P>Does anyone run Informix using raw partitions on Linux? I need to create
some raw partitions and need to know the Linux commands for creating them for
use with Informix. Is there a limit on the number that can be created, or is
it fairly high?</P>
<P>Thanks.</P></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
