You may need to repartition the disk you choose. Contact your operating system
administrator for assistance.
- Do not initialize a database device
on the partition that contains your Sybase installation software. Doing so
destroys all existing files on that partition.
- You cannot mount a raw partition
designated for use by Sybase for use by the operating system for any other
purpose, such as for file systems or swap space.
- After a Sybase configuration
utility or the disk init command has initialized a
portion of a partition as a database device, you cannot use the entire
partition for any other purpose. To dynamically increase the size of your
database devices, rather than initializing a new device, use disk
resize.
- For best performance, place the
Sybase software and all disk devices, including the master
device, on the same machine.
- To avoid any possibility of using a
partition that contains the partition map, do not use cylinder 0.
