Re: performance of rootdbs in non-raw file

I'm not too concerned about this from a performance situation, but am extreamly concerned about this from a recoverability standpoint.. The reserved pages are the most important stuff in the rootdbs and is extreamly critical for the recoverability of the system. If some of this is un-recoverable because it is in the UNIX file system buffers at the point of a system (power) failure, it is possible that the system will not recover. Madison Pruet
