At a recent Sun configuration seminar it has been mentioned that on any Sun drive you really don't want to use slice #0 for the raw partition. You can make the raw partition as large as you like, but use #1 or greater. I'm not sure how this applies to the SPARCstorage Array, but there you have it. Sun also purports that raw partitions only gain you 2% less throughput under Solaris 2.4. If you're still using 2.3 or (gasp!) SunOS 4.x, you'll still want to use raw partitions. Have an incredibly pleasant week.! Kris \\ Kriston Rehberg \\ \\ kriston@ibm.net \\ \\ krehberg@nyx.cs.du.edu \\ \\ kriston@prti.com \\
