Hi,
 
>Does anyone run Informix using raw partitions on Linux?
Yes , I have already done that. You have just to create logical or physical hard disks dedicated to Informix. 
For instance "/dev/hdc"
Then open the raws configuration file situated on /etc/sysconfig/rawdevices I think. BTW, I beleive that on one previous fedora version, the raw device tricks was not fonctionning very well. Fedora 1 or 2 ? Do not remember. 
Well...
Then add a line corresponding to you device either via the device number "major and minor" or via the path I beleive.
Finally restart the service associated to the raw device, if I remember well....
Then you should see you raw device running raw -qa I think.
 
BTW, do not forget to point your chunks on links pointing on specific raw devices.
 
Is there a limit on the number that can be created, or is it fairly high?
On previous version, I think it was 255.
But now on RHEL4, I think it is more.
 
Feel free to contact me if you nees more information about that. 
Sorry but it's quite late here, and I am a little bit tired. 
 
Best Regards

Does anyone run Informix using raw partitions on Linux? I need to create some raw partitions and need to know the Linux commands for creating them for use with Informix. Is there a limit on the number that can be created, or is it fairly high?

Thanks.
