Sorry if this is a faq, I do remember seeing this discussed a while back ago, but I didn't keep any of the articles. If there is a compilation of this topic, can some please send it to me. Q. How much of an increase in perfomance can one expect by switching to a raw device? Background: Online 5.00, SunOS 4.1.3, Sparc station LX Please reply by email.
