We are in the process of setting up Oracle RAC on Redhat Linux.
I need RAC expert's comments for the following questions.
1) What type of filesystem are you using for Oracle datafiles?
2) Are your implementation(s) using raw partitions or a cluster file
system for the OCR and voting disks?
3) If using raw partitions with Linux can you describe any challenges
you had with device discovery?
Thanks,
Rama
