Attention: To align with new corporate security policies, and to match policies adopted by other communities within Oracle, the My Oracle Support Community access requirements will change beginning September 18, 2025. MOSC will now require that member accounts in our community be associated to a *corporate* email address. This means that users with generic domains (such as gmail.com, yahoo.com, and others) will no longer be granted access to the discussion forums and ideas labs. If this policy affects you, act now to change the email address that is associated with your Oracle (and community) account. Alternatively, you can opt to create a new Oracle account that uses your corporate email domain.

RAW ZFS for Database - links to zvol/rdks AND devices/pseudo

Used for informix DB.

Basically, got a device called /dev/IMAGE_DB.

# ls -al /dev/IMAGE*

lrwxrwxrwx 1 informix informix 35 Aug 4 2015 /dev/IMAGE_DB -> /dev/zvol/rdsk/informix-db/IMAGE_DB

As you can see points to the raw zpool (called informix-db/IMAGE_DB).

AND,

# ls -al /dev/zvol/rdsk/informix-db/IMAGE_DB

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 Sep 8 2015 /dev/zvol/rdsk/informix-db/IMAGE_DB -> ../../../../devices/pseudo/zfs@0:8c,raw

which I think is correct. Other DBs on different servers seem to have this sort of link too....

BUT,

ls -al ../../../../devices/pseudo/zfs@0:8c,raw

../../../../devices/pseudo/zfs@0:8c,raw: No such file or directory

Howdy, Stranger!
