I have a question that I hope someone can answer. I have used both Informix Online 5.x and 7.x on various Unix platforms. I have never used the "offset" when adding chunks the the online engine. I was recently told that I should be using the offset when the chunk is a raw partition because the OS can overwrite the header of the raw partition(logical volume). Anyone have any answers?
