RE: Raw Devices v.s. File System

I only have one year's experience, but I did a test on NT and saw no difference between raw partitions and ntfs on NT, would be curious to = hear
what difference people found on Solaris.

Maybe I didn't see any difference because I had only one controller on = my
test server? Who knows.

	Hi there, another newbie question for the gurus.

	I will be running Oracle 8i on Solaris 8 and was
	wondering about other's experiences and opinions about
	raw devices v.s. the file system.

	From the Administrator's Reference, there may be
	problems with ULIMIT and moving data files around.=20
	Has anyone else experienced trouble?  Anything I
	should beware of?

	As always, thx.

	MJ
