I know that under Oracle you can...
For example under hp-ux you can issue a create tablespace command but
specify the datafile as "/dev/rdsk/cot6d0/datafile01.dbf" which points to
the raw disk itself...
this places the datafile on a raw partition... I haven't tried this under
Linux, but I think it has to be supported via. your database package...
My 2 bits... hope it helps...
