HI,
Use the unix link command (ln) to create a symbolic link name to the raw device. Then use the create tablespace tablespace_name datafile 'link_file_name' size nn.
If you set the raw device size to say 500mg the size parameter has to be 2 blocks less than the size of the device. 500mg x1024x1024=524288000 Therefore, if blocksize is 4096 subtract 2x4096 0r 8192 from 524288000 to get 524279808 for the value to use in the size parameter of the create statement. Hope this helps.
