Raj: Upon the advice offered by either the Informix manuals or the Informix Sys. Admin. course, our adminstrator set up our Informix systems on RS/6000s to use raw disk. I believe that the UNIX filesystem overhead was supposed to get in the way, but don't take my word for it. Steven J. Richardson/Merit Network, Inc.
