Do you mean OpenSolaris? If so take a look at what's been happening in
the last week or so, e.g.
http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/...-board-resigns

It seems that OS could be a dead end until Illumos (
http://www.illumos.org ) is ready to provide a way forward.

And if you meant the free as in beer option that died at the end of
March, e.g.
http://arstechnica.com/open-source/n...-day-trial.ars

We're running Suse Linux Enterprise Server on x86 and with the latest SLES11SP1 release notes comes this announcement:
"The RAW devices are deprecated and will be removed with one of the next Service Packs or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12."
I'm about to reinstall Informix onto new drives so might as well migrate to cooked files.

Don't have SUSE at hand so I can't test, but this looks like they're
removing RAW driver from the distro. If so, this doesn't mean you
can't use raw devices as Informix understands them.

Use the LVM to create your volume groups and logical volumes on top of
your physical hard disks. Each logical volume is a raw device as far
Informix is concerned (i.e. no filesystem on it). Of course, create
and use symlinks rather than LV device names directly.
