When it talks about a raw filesystem it is refering to the /dev/vgxx/rlvol. Just create the lvol in the normal way, but do not perform a newfs command on it.

Sekar,

Also I should mention that you do not mount it. As far as a bdf command is concerned it does not exist as it is a raw partition. You will need to use Ingres tools to keep a track on the amount of space it is using

Sekar,

Also make sure that you change the ownership of the "/dev/vgxx/rlvolxx" to allow the sybase user to read and write on the raw logical volumes.
