In DB2, a system administrator would allocate a raw device (a 'logical volume' in AIX, a 'slice' in Solaris, or a 'partition' in Linux) for DB2's exclusive use. Databases now largely use the SMS method for its increased reliability (journaled file systems, redundancy, compression, expandability). | |||
