I had no other recourse for checking how the I/O works but to inspect an actual disk driver. That is, after all, the best way of checking how things work. Having in mind how different from Unix Linux is, I'm sure that Unix drivers employ completely different principles altogether (wink). -- Mladen Gogala Oracle DBA email:mladeng@aetvn.com Ext: 9787 > -----Original Message----- > From: Mark W.
