Re: replacing mounted rootdbs as raw diskspace

Hi, I didnt tried it, but you can 1. take a level 0 backup 2. create a raw device, same size, name as the rootdb unix file 3. edit the configuration or onconfig file, for rootdb location 4. restore If this failed, you may tbunload or dbexport your data and reinitalize your instance. Any comments from others.
