Re: RAW device on Software Raid?

unfortunately it did not work.

I always get an "file exists" error when attempting to create the tablespace on the raw device

I don't have this problem when using a hardware raid so I'm think that it is just not possible to create a RAW device on a software raid.

Thanks anyway,
Steve.
