I would not use a 2.6.X kernel in production for this reason. SuSE 9.0 is a distribution we use successfully. > /etc/sysconfig/rawdevices, /etc/init.d/rawdevice is nothing. I am not familiar with Fedora so I can only give a rough overview of how to set up raw devices. I am assuming your kernel supports them. - Configure the hard disc partitions for raw devices using a partitioning tool. - Set up raw devices, presumably using /etc/sysconfig/rawdevices. - Start the raw device service: /etc/init.d/rawdevice start - Or you can do the above two steps manually by running a command like this: raw /dev/raw/raw1 /dev/sda1 . The settings will be lost when you reboot though. - Make sure the raw devices in /dev/raw/ have permissions rw-rw---- and have uid and gid 'informix'. - Create a /data folder and create symbolic links to the raw devices. e.g. ln -s /dev/raw/raw1 /data/rootdbs - Create other raw devices and links for other dbspaces. - Make sure your ROOTPATH variable in your ONCONFIG file is set to /data/rootdbs - Use other dbspaces by creating them with the 'onspaces' command. > I can Use rawdevice on Fedora core 1. If the problem is just that you cannot figure out the configuration file then find out where the raw devices are (usually off /dev) and create your own script to use them like: raw /dev/raw/raw1 /dev/sda1 raw /dev/raw/raw2 /dev/sda2 raw /dev/raw/raw3 /dev/sda3 etc. Ben.
