在linux上使用raw device一般有两个方式，下面分别测试一下：

第一种方式是非lvm方式，直接使用partion方式如下：

一，创建分区

[root@localhost ~]# fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 12.8 GB, 12884901888 bytes

255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1566 cylinders

Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id System

/dev/sda1   *           1          64      514048+ 83 Linux

/dev/sda2              65        1174     8916075   83 Linux

/dev/sda3            1175        1435     2096482+ 82 Linux swap

/dev/sda4            1436        1566     1052257+   5 Extended

/dev/sda5            1436        1566     1052226   83 Linux

Disk /dev/sdb: 8589 MB, 8589934592 bytes

255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1044 cylinders

Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Disk /dev/sdb doesn't contain a valid partition table

Disk /dev/sdc: 8589 MB, 8589934592 bytes

255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1044 cylinders

Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Disk /dev/sdc doesn't contain a valid partition table

[root@localhost oracle]# fdisk /dev/sdb

The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 1044.

There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,

and could in certain setups cause problems with:

1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)

2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs

(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)

二，绑定raw device

[root@localhost oracle]# raw /dev/raw/raw1 /dev/sdb1

/dev/raw/raw1: bound to major 8, minor 18

[root@localhost oracle]# raw /dev/raw/raw2 /dev/sdb2

/dev/raw/raw2: bound to major 8, minor 18

[root@localhost oracle]# raw /dev/raw/raw3 /dev/sdb3

/dev/raw/raw3: bound to major 8, minor 18

[root@localhost oracle]# raw /dev/raw/raw4 /dev/sdb4

/dev/raw/raw4: bound to major 8, minor 18

[root@localhost oracle]#vi /etc/sysconfig/rawdevices

在文件中加入如下内容:

/dev/raw/raw1 /dev/sdb1

/dev/raw/raw2 /dev/sdb2

/dev/raw/raw3 /dev/sdb4

/dev/raw/raw4 /dev/sdb4

另执行 /etc/init.d/rawdevices restart 使配置文件中的裸设备生效，执行 /sbin/chkconfig rawdevices on 保证机器启动的时候裸设备能够加载。

三，授权

[root@localhost oracle]# chown -R oracle:dba /dev/raw/raw1

[root@localhost oracle]# chown -R oracle:dba /dev/raw/raw2

[root@localhost oracle]# chown -R oracle:dba /dev/raw/raw3

[root@localhost oracle]# chown -R oracle:dba /dev/raw/raw4

另修改配置文件/etc/udev/permissions.d/50-udev.permissions

注释掉raw/*:root:disk:0660，添加新行raw/*:oracle:dba:0660

此时，如绑定raw device，则默认权限为oracle:dba了。

--另如需要可以进行相应链接，

如ln -s /dev/raw/raw1 /u1/oracle/oradata/test10g/test_raw1.dbf,然后可以直接为oracle所用了。

另一种是lvm的方式，测试如下：

一，创建pv

[root@localhost ~]# pvcreate -M2 --metadatasize 100M /dev/sdb7 /dev/sdb8 /dev/sdb9 /dev/sdb10 /dev/sdc

Physical volume "/dev/sdb7" successfully created

Physical volume "/dev/sdb8" successfully created

Physical volume "/dev/sdb9" successfully created

Physical volume "/dev/sdb10" successfully created

Physical volume "/dev/sdc" successfully created

[root@localhost ~]# lvmdiskscan

/dev/ramdisk [       16.00 MB]

/dev/ram     [       16.00 MB]

/dev/sda1    [      502.00 MB]

/dev/ram2    [       16.00 MB]

/dev/root    [        8.50 GB]

/dev/ram3    [       16.00 MB]

/dev/sda3    [        2.00 GB]

/dev/ram4    [       16.00 MB]

/dev/ram5    [       16.00 MB]

/dev/sda5    [        1.00 GB]

/dev/ram6    [       16.00 MB]

/dev/ram7    [       16.00 MB]

/dev/ram8    [       16.00 MB]

/dev/ram9    [       16.00 MB]

/dev/ram10   [       16.00 MB]

/dev/ram11   [       16.00 MB]

/dev/ram12   [       16.00 MB]

/dev/ram13   [       16.00 MB]

/dev/ram14   [       16.00 MB]

/dev/ram15   [       16.00 MB]

/dev/sdb1    [      980.50 MB]

/dev/sdb2    [      980.53 MB]

/dev/sdb3    [        1.92 GB]

/dev/sdb5    [      509.84 MB]

/dev/sdb6    [      549.07 MB]

/dev/sdb7    [      509.84 MB] LVM physical volume

/dev/sdb8    [      509.84 MB] LVM physical volume

/dev/sdb9    [      549.07 MB] LVM physical volume

/dev/sdb10   [      627.51 MB] LVM physical volume

/dev/sdb11   [     1011.88 MB]

/dev/sdc     [        8.00 GB] LVM physical volume

3 disks

23 partitions

1 LVM physical volume whole disk

4 LVM physical volumes

二，创建vg

[root@localhost ~]# vgcreate vg_db1 /dev/sdc -s 128m

Volume group "vg_db1" successfully created

[root@localhost ~]# vgcreate vg_db2 /dev/sdc -s 128m

Volume group "vg_db2" successfully created

三，创建lv

[root@localhost ~]# lvcreate -L 512m -I 64k vg_db2 -n lv_db2_02

Ignoring stripesize argument with single stripe

Logical volume "lv_db2_02" created

[root@localhost ~]# lvcreate -L 1024m -I 64k vg_db2 -n lv_db2_03

Ignoring stripesize argument with single stripe

Logical volume "lv_db2_03" created

[root@localhost ~]# lvcreate -L 512m -I 64k vg_db2 -n lv_db2_04

Ignoring stripesize argument with single stripe

Logical volume "lv_db2_04" created

[root@localhost ~]# lvcreate -L 2048m -I 64k vg_db2 -n lv_db2_05

Ignoring stripesize argument with single stripe

Logical volume "lv_db2_05" created

四，绑定

[root@localhost ~]# raw /dev/raw/raw１ /dev/mapper/vg_db2-lv_db2_0１

/dev/raw/raw4: bound to major 253, minor 5

[root@localhost ~]# raw /dev/raw/raw２ /dev/mapper/vg_db2-lv_db2_0２

/dev/raw/raw4: bound to major 253, minor 5

[root@localhost ~]# raw /dev/raw/raw３ /dev/mapper/vg_db2-lv_db2_0３

/dev/raw/raw4: bound to major 253, minor 5

[root@localhost ~]# raw /dev/raw/raw４ /dev/mapper/vg_db2-lv_db2_0４

/dev/raw/raw4: bound to major 253, minor 5

后面授权等作业和第一种方式类同，上面要注意的是lv的命名方式，命名方式分解如下：

/dev/mapper/+ vgname + '-' + lvname.
