Hi!
I'm thinkong of using raw devices for our redos (Linux, 9.2.0.3.0).
However, I didn't find anything in the docs on how to tell oracle
that a certain /dev/something file is a raw device and should be accessed
without the file system calls of the OS.
How do I do that?
And, by the way, how do I find outthe block size of the disk?
Also, if I do partitions on the disks, like even redos on one disk
and odd ones on the other, how does the partition overhead
compare to the file system overhead when distributing redo files
like this?
Lots of Greetings!
Volker
