Hi John,

all logical volumes exist as raw devices but you usually then create a filesystem on them. If you create a logical volume called lv_raw for example, the raw device will be /dev/rlv_raw. So in oracle to use a raw device you just use datafile='/dev/rlv_raw', easy. Just not so easy to back up, unless you use rman!
