Hi,

I agree with Fabrizio.

It's much better an efficient to access directly the device/raw.

In fact ASMlib is an additionnal layer which has been implemented in order to overtake the RAW device limit on "old" (2.4) kernels.

The more layer you have the less high available you are, i.e :

ASM -> ASMLib -> raw (eventually LVM) -> device !!!! :-)
Ideallly : ASM -> Device.

Best Regards

Yann

Hello Jorge,
I don't think the ASMlib are ready for the SLES10 kernel yet.
However you don't need them for your ASM.

ASMlib are not really necessary (and personally I prefer not to use them).

Fabrizio
