Hello y'all in netland...

We are IBM RT model 135 owners, using AIX 2.2.1 (no condolences please!).

We have attempted to move our Unify database to a "raw partition",
according to Unify documentation, but we have been unsuccessful so far.

We get wierd errors from Unify after we move the data to the raw partition,
so for the time being we have given up and put the database file back into
the Unix filesystem.

BTW, we are using an IBM 71Mb drive in space "E" as one entire minidisk,
rather than using *part* of another disk.  Drive "C" is an IBM 71Mb, and
drive "D" is a CDC Wren 155Mb disk (which work great!).

Please E-mail your responses to me, unless someone has good, detailed
information that is known to be correct and of general interest.

Thanks for your help.

Just how bad is AIX?  My IBM rep is pushing it (we are planning to by an RT) of
course, but is it REALLY bad?  Should we get AOS instead?  Any comments or help
would be much appreciated.

We have been using AIX for more than two years now, and have found it to be
EXTREMELY RELIABLE.  Our systems (and our customers' systems) run for weeks 
and months at a time without the need to reboot.  Some of our programmers here
have experience with BSD UNIX, and say that AIX is far better.

I apologize to all who got the idea that we are having trouble with AIX.  On
the contrary, we are merely in need of some help from someone who has gotten
raw-mode working in Unify DBMS.  Anyone?...
