It works fine with raw and heartbeat although depending on your distro you may have to hack the 'raw' script to actually work http://groups.google.co.uk/group/novell.support.suse.linux.professional/browse_thread/thread/62b8da97916987dd/b11209c7c384fa9e?lnk=st&q=%22clive+eisen%22+raw&rnum=4&hl=en#b11209c7c384fa9e Later informix versions open the chunks as 'raw' without you having to go through these hoops, and will also use KAIO if possible -- Clive
