Please have a look at this oracle 8i benchmark : http://otn.oracle.com/oramag/webcolumns/2003/techarticles/scalzo_linux02.html It clearly prooves you wrong as ext3 is the fastest performing fs on this test, and raw devices is clearly a bad choice under linux. _______________________________________________ sapdb.general mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listserv.sap.com/mailman/listinfo/sapdb.general
