Creating dbspaces on raw devices in Sybase Central [CR 441162]

In the Create DBSpace wizard, on the Path screen, the raw device option is selected by default. Sybase recommends that you create main stores on raw devices. Be careful to deselect the raw device option when it is unnecessary. For example, raw devices disallow size values. If you inadvertently leave the raw device option selected and specify a size, Sybase IQ attempts to allocate the entire device. The raw device option disables path verification, so you should also deselect the option before specifying a file system name.
