SCO UnixWare 7/OpenUNIX 8/OpenServer 6 FAQ : Media/Device Information, Filesystems, and Disks :
What's a partition? |
| A disk can be subdivided into one to four continuous sections called partitions. In reality, UnixWare 7/OpenServer 6 likes to use only one Unix partition per disk, but the others can be raw for database use. Inside a partition are slices (or just raw space as I mentioned).
