Any device that's /dev/sd.. will be a block(ed) device. see "ls -l /dev/sdc*" and look at the "b". You probably want to try raw devices, see "man raw". NB: Switching to a raw device is /possibly/ (though not probably, IMHO) a destructive operation. One thing you really, really, _don't_ want to do is use both the block (/dev/sd..) and raw (/dev/raw/raw..) at the same time. Otherwise Bad Stuff will happen. jack Oh <bad swear word> ! Thanks very much for the info and the link. Your correct I truly did not know we had to actually use raw devices. I've spoke to the dba's and what they suggest is they migrate a disk out of ASM one at a time, then migrate it back in using the raw device. Thanks very much for the help. Nick .
