In times gone by, there was a lot of emphasis by database products placed on using raw access to the disk and having disk partitions reserved for them on the basis that they could do the I/O quicker and in a more suitable fashion than could the OS. I'm not sure you'll find this to be that fashionable any more, not to mention that products such as MySQL don't function like this at all.
