Hi,

I'm having trouble getting rawio to work on

Red Hat Linux release 6.2 (Zoot) Kernel 2.2.13-okeefe on a 2-processor i686

Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong based on the following:

Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdb1              8741468        28   8297388   0% /wtecache1
