RAC
        
        
        i think that the only reason for using raw devices is if you
don't have NAS for nfs or you dont have the cache to get a good CFS.

... great play on words :-) !  But let's think about this viewpoint.
Hmmmm, the topic is CFS or RAW with RAC.  I am astonished that after
paying ~60K per CPU for RAC, why is paying some ~10% list for a really
good general purpose and Oracle optimized CFS such a stumbling block?
Sort of like paying for a fully loaded Mercedes, but shorting yourself
on the air conditioning isn't it?
