Re: Cooked vs raw

You should check "onstat -d" and from the second part of its output, last column specifies the files used for chunks. Check those files. They could be: 1. A link (soft or hard). In this case check the file the link points to and see the cases described below. 2. A character special device file (in 'ls -l' output starts with a 'c' in first column). This is a RAW device used for your server. 3. A regular file in filesystem. In this case the first caracter of 'ls -l' command on this file will be '-', and it will have a size column (not major/minor device numbers as in case 2). This is the case of a COOKED file.

I inherited this database server all set up (and not very well). How can I tell if a dbspace is set up with cooked files or raw? The system admin here thought they were raw but it looks to me like cooked space. > > Solaris 2.5 x86 for intel > Compaq 4000 > > IDS 7.20.UC2 > I don't know what other info you will need.. > > Thanks, > Anne -- Octav Chiriac Phone: (373) 2 22 99 67 NetInfo S.R.L.
