Re: Cook device vs Raw device

All things being equal Raw should be 20%(ish) faster. Parameters ... whats the platform, what is the OS, what and where are the disks, what sort of volume management are you using, Paul Watson WF Software Ltd Tel: +44 1436 674729 Fax: +44 1436 678729 www.wfsoftware.com/informix # If you broke it, hide the evidence >>> "Matthew Tan" <tankc@singnet.com.sg> 09/14/99 10:37AM >>> Currently our database data is stored in cooked chunks. Informix did state that using raw device is preferably but due to time contraints(other data was present which required repartitioning the drives) we decided to use cooked chunks. I am wondering, how much slower? Any parameters to set/change when using cooked chunks to improve the speed ?
