repotools.sh won't use existing content_tablespace
I've built an RQM 2.0.1 on DB2 on RedHat Linux and wanted to use a "raw" device to point to an unmounted disk (character-oriented I/O. avoids the OS buffer cache).
The repotools.sh -createTables did not build, and appears to not want to use an existing file specified for the content_tablespace.
I've got to check whether "raw" character devices are still relevant to DB2 and RH LINUX, but in the "old school" using these type device files avoided filling the OS buffer cache. Since the DB2 database is ALSO building a buffer cache, it looks like a waste of RAM.
So either I should "fugged-abou-tit" or repotools.sh should somehow make use of an existing file.
