Can the RDBMS engine you chose handle raw partitions? If so, how would that compare to a filesystem? (and which RDBMS do you intend to use?) (and what type of application is it? Online transaction processing (a.k.a. OLTP) or batch processing a-la data warehouse?)

Hello, Linux People!
after short consultation, i have come to this conclusion about which filesystem i should use on my database box (or server) the winner is: ex2 linux extended filesystem, yes, lassies & lads
- "why not ext3/Reiser's ?" - "because journalling is already implemented in the DBMS." - "why not jfs then ? - "it is too young, my friends + journalling..." - "why not xfs , it is so ... juicy ? - "it is too resource demanding (i have p2 670MHz + 256 MB )"
if somebody thinks otherwise, please tell me why! thank you.
