RE: Move from cooked to raw

It is usually the first few K of the physical disk/raid device. Slice your disk to start partition 0/slice 0 at say cylinder number 10 instead of 0. Then you will not have to tweak INFORMIX. -----Original Message----- From: Madison Pruet [mailto:mpruet@home.com] Sent: Friday, September 01, 2000 1:33 AM To: informix-list@iiug.org Subject: Re: Move from cooked to raw One very important warning. On some systems the first few K of a raw device will be overlayed by system information. You can not simply copy the files from a cooked chunk onto a raw device if your cooked chunk did not have an offset and your raw space requires one. cyclonejls@my-deja.com wrote: > I currently have a mixed environment of cooked and raw chunks.
