Why there is raw support in the kernel whereas util-linux from Fedora drop raw support ?
That's a slip-up caused by the RHEL4 kernel being built from the same sources.
OK. Good reason ;-)
it should be off for Fedora.
Is there a new way to create (obsolete) raw device other than using the "raw" programme (normally in util-linux) ?
Use O_DIRECT directly on the block device.
Yes, but O_DIRECT does not need CONFIG_RAW_DRIVER .
Now I understand the situation. Thanks for the reply.
