Ok, great!
One more question.
When i create logical volume, it is by default created as block device.
But i see that all my raw devices assigned to the database are character-special devices.
Example, in my /dev directory i have following:
brw-rw---- 1 root system 10, 12 Dec 09 2005 lvinformix0

crw-rw---- 1 informix informix 10, 12 Mar 16 06:30 rlvinformix0

From a given example, only the rlvinformix0 device is assigned to the database.
So, how do i make this new LV to be a character device?
