why? in 92 when i took this position the setup here was raw devces. i spent ~4-6 months and finally tracked down the people who did the port of oracle to the rs6000. result raw devices present essentially NO performance increase on aix on the rs/6000. so again why? they are a pita to support compared to regular files.

yes we have hacmp ~1.5 years. ?'s regaurding it's use. please email.
