Re: raw vs. cooked files under linux

SCO -> Linux ... good ;) If you want to upgrade to IDS 10.0 then better use Suse 9 'cause IDS use Kernel 2.6 specific features like KAIO. There is a nice document on IDS 10 and Linux on IBM site (can't remember link...). Regarding cooked vs. raw devices O bet for raw devices, they are very easy to configure in linux and give you some benefits like KAIO for example. J.
