Re: move datafile from file system to raw device

Never really worked with raw at all.....but two things come to mind:

1. on the overrun bit, when using raw filesystems you must take extra care to make certain that your source file fits on the target raw space. Space management abilities was what I understood to be the largest drawback of using raw.
2. on the errors about the filesystem needing recovery....a guess would be that Oracle is treating it like a ufs filesystem when it is raw space. Is the raw space mounted correctly?
