Hi, Since you don't specify your OS, I assume you are using Linux; if you are using another UNIX like system (BSD, Solaris,...), my explanations below may be useless :(
A disk partition (as /dev/sda1) is a "bloc device",this is not the same as a "raw device". You can get more info in Linux HOWTO: http://www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/SCSI-2.4-HOWTO/rawdev.html The main difference is that a "bloc device" is accessed through the filesystem cache while accesses to a "raw device" bypass the cache. However, I have not yet tried raw devices with MySQL/InnoDB, so I can't give you more MySQL specific advice. Hope this helps, Joseph Bueno NetClub Dyego Souza do Carmo wrote: > > I'm confused , what is the difference and raw device and a disk > partition ? > > ex: on innodb I'm using /dev/sda1 for raw device, is it correct ? > > > tnks. > > > > sql,query > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
