Very Computer

hi everybody,

I've a big problem and I don't know what else  I can do to solve it.

I'm working with Sybase 11.9.2 and Linux Red Hat  7.2

I want to create the raw devices for my databases.

I've done:
    1.    creation logical block partition with "fdisk" (/dev/sdb6) with the
id=60 (Unknown)

    2.    bind of block partition (/dev/sdb6) to an existing character
partition (raw device) (/dev/raw/raw1 =>major: 162 , minor: 1) with the
"raw"
            (I've also tried with a non-existing character partition with
(mknod --mode=660 /dev/raw1 c 162 1) and I have the same problems)

    3.    so: raw -qa => /dev/raw/raw1:  bound to major 8, minor 2
(corresponds to /dev/sdb6)

    4.    chown sybase.sybase /dev/raw/raw1   /dev/sdb6   /dev/rawctl

    5.    chmod 660 /dev/raw/raw1   /dev/sdb6   /dev/rawctl

Now, in the ASE 11.9.2  installation: on the graphical interface provided by
"srvbuild":
    master device path:  /dev/raw/raw1 => It tells me "Unable to access to
/dev/raw/raw1".

    if I go: master device path : /dev/sdb6 It's OK for him but I'd like to
get to the partition in character mode (/dev/raw/raw1) and not in block mode
(/dev/sdb6)

Any help would be very very highly appreciated.

The 11.9.2 code line on linux does NOT support raw partitions.

You'll have to either downgrade to 11.0.3.3, or (recommended) mode to
12.5.0.1 (or later).
