Re: Raw or Buffered device?

Hi Steven. It seems problem that you use Blocked device. Do you mean as bellow ? % ls -l /dev/rdbroot crw-rw---- ....... % ls -l /dev/dbroot brw-rw---- ....... If so, anyone can write on /dev/dbroot. /dev/dbroot is file system. It is not simple to change the ROOTPATH. I think the better solution is dbexport -ss your database, initialize your IDS, then dbimport. Probably it exists more better solution than I mentioned. Regards. -- Tsutomu Ogiwara from Tokyo Japan.
