Re: Can raw device span multiple disks ? Thanks,Ranko.

All depends on how many layers between you and the disk...

A "raw partition" might be looking

1. directly at a chunk on a single disk
2. at a logical volume presented by a software volume manager and thus be 'n' disks, (1<n<infinity)
3. at a logical volume presented by a software volume manager which came from a volume manager within a SAN

etc etc etc
