raw devices
Is there any way to use raw devices within postgreSQL, or does it support
file system only ??
Is there any reason for not supporting raw device, or is it just a
question of not having the time to write a driver ?
Yves.

This seems to be coming up so often perhaps somebody should put it in
the FAQ.
The reason it doesn't support raw devices, according to a moderately
long discussion not too long ago, is that with modern operating systems
it is better to let the OS handle the low level stuff.
