Raw partitions are deprecated. I recall from prior posts that you are
using Informix, is that right? Recent versions of Informix implement
the O_DIRECT flag for disk I/O so raw devices are not needed

For our Informix installation, we point the server directly at the
/dev/sd* devices. The one trick is to create a file in
/etc/udev/permissions.d that sets the permissions for the disk devices
at boot.

# cat /etc/udev/permissions.d/40-informix.permissions
sdb5:informix:informix:0660
sdb6:informix:informix:0660
sdb7:informix:informix:0660
