Re: Disks for informix

You will need to check your volume manager documentation. The only times I bother with an offset are when the storage manager uses the first page for storing its own information [AIX comes to mind here]. If you don't have too, try to avoid it. Makes life easier.

Mark, According to onstat -d, none of the other chunks have an offset (well they do but it's 0).
