Currently the system we use has a concatenated file system that stores all the data for the database. Thus my belif is this is very bad. I was hoping to find what everyone elses option of this is. Does anyone else use a concatenated file system? and have you changed to raw disc? what are your feeling about this? Thanks, Christopher Weldon Ayres

RAW disk devices tend to be from 15% to 35% faster than COOKED devices and from 25% to 50% faster than filesystem files. Art S. Kagel
