Admittedly i've never implemented raw partitions
but I've heard a lot of stuff from our
office to scare me:
1 - replicating a database from one Unix box to
Another by *copying files*---both are open and
LIVE with the database daemons on both running.
2 - "Just mount the database by NFS and share the
database from there"....
sometimes i'm just glad to be a nobody where i work...
heheh.
