Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Question about raw and cooked devices.
What is the basic difference between "cooked" and "raw" disks. I thought =
that cooked were disks that contained dbf files for the data and could be =
of various sizes. Raw disks were generally the whole disk as a location =
for the dbf files. The raw devices were backed up as volumes and the =
cooked were backed up as datafiles?
Am I correct in my assumptions?
Also, please point me in the direction of some information about such =
devices.
Thanks,
ROR =AA=BF=AA
