Our database is in another dbspace which is created as raw : > diskspace. : I believe that you should backup your entire online instance; rebuild : the instance with your rootdbs on raw disk ; finally restore the entire : instance. This might work if your new rootdbs points to a link. Otherwise the restore will just put the rootdbs back where it was. If you used dbexport or other flat-file data saves, it would definitely work. Another thing to try would be to create a mirror of the rootdbs onto a raw chunk, take the primary (cooked) rootdbs down. I'm not exactly where to go from there, does anyone know whether the mirror could then be converted to primary?
