Re: RAW devices on Linux revisited.

(Courtesy copy mailed to original poster) Art, In your post you refer to problems that you have had with DG/UX and rcmd() function. We are having some problems running IDS 7.30.X on DX/UX using raw disk (via virtual volumes). The problems we are experiencing are entirely performance related. Could you elaborate on the DG/UX fix that you have been waiting for? Cheers, Brett "Art S.
