We were discussing this over here, and the big question we came up with
is:
"Does this mean that simply raw devices a la old school Red Hat
(/dev/raw/raw1) are desupported, or that all character/non-buffered IO
devices are desupported (a la /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s2 or /dev/sda2 with
O_DIRECT)?"
If the former, it's a non-issue for most environments, if it's the
latter, it opens up a host of questions around what will be supported.
Effectively, it requires that people have a clustered filesystem to use,
or somehow Oracle jobbies up ASM such that you can put OCR and voting
internally and making ASM a dependency for CRS to run.

Redhat RHEL 6 will also NOT support raw device.

For those using Raw Devices (wether for Redo Logs in non-RAC or for
Database Files as well in RAC),
see MetaLink Note#578455.1 "Announcement of De-Support of RAW
devices in Release 12G "
