Is it possible to use raw hdd partition as scratch disk/space?
I'm currently building a workstation specifically for certain image processing tasks. I plan to run Linux most of the time but am considering dual boot with Windows, specifically to run Photoshop.
It will have four 15k 73GB SAS drives configured as two RAID0 volumes for scratch disks. I'm laying out the partitions now, and I was wondering if Photoshop can use raw partitions as scratch space, or do they always have to be Windows-formatted partitions. What I'm thinking about is recycling my Linux swap partitions from the RAID0s as scratch partitions when using Photoshop.
