I'm new to raw devices so I need some clarification here regarding 9i RAC on Win 2K.
Is it true that you can only have 1 file per logical partition on a raw device. Does this mean that a tablespace can only have one file? Or can a tablespace have a number of files on a number of different logical partitions?

Also, when a datafile fills up a logical partition, can that partition be extended? Or, if the above is true, can another logical partition be created (assuming you have the space) and then add another datafile to the tablespace using the new partition?

Is this generally how to deal with running out of space? Is there a different way?

Thanks!
