Hello progress talkes,
We are trying to implement the raw devices for storing Read-only data (in GB). we perform some test on test server which failed.
Our environment is:
Progress Database/Appserver: version 9.1B patch 13
AIX : version 5L (5.0 or 5.2)
Work Done: [for testing the scenario on test servers]
- create the raw partition i.e abc
(we find two files [character and block device files] having names abc and rabc in /dev directory)
- give permissions on the 2 files (i.e chmod 777 /dev/*abc)
- create link (e.g /test> ln -s /dev/rabc testdb.d1)
- create st for multi volume database having 2 data extents
[ d "test" 7,32 testdb.d1 r 5120, d "test" 7,32 testdb.d2 ]
- create db using above st file which ends up with 2 System level errors (.e trying to exceed 2 GB limit, testdb.d1 size is too small)
- after db creation, any progress commands ends up generating core and protrace files
Does anyone tell us what is wrong. Also note that we perform the same operations for both type of files [character and block device files].
Any suggestion/comments/guildance is appreciated. Kindly guide us is to how to create raw partitions.
Thanks
