Thanks Alan,
What you say is interesting. We are a RAC shop and I have always used oracleasm
tools to create/delete ASM disks for SAN shared storage before or after I use
them for an ASM instance. Maybe it's just my ignorance, but is there another
way to do that without oracleasm?
I did check the links and the download files go as far as kernel 2.6.9-78.0.22.
The kernel I was going to upgrade to was 2.6.9-89 but didn't see that one on
the list. I will test this on a test RAC to see if the current ocfs2/o2cb level
allows me to mount the crs disks after upgrading to a newer OS kernel.
Thanks,
Julio Quijada

oracleasm is not needed for RH4U1 and up, you simply install the RDBMS, patch
to whaterver patchset you want, fire up dbca and create the ASM instance. Works
as well for RAC.
Also, check http://oss.oracle.com/osswiki/OCFS2/NewFeaturesList which has the
documentation for OCFS2. and http://oss.oracle.com/projects/ocfs2/files/ for
the download files. See that there are files for both RH4 and RH5.

Hello All,
I was doing some server updates and noticed that ocfs2 and oracleasm lib are
not available for Linux kernels higher than 2.6.9-78.0.22. Does this imply that
for newer kernel versions the user must compile them? or maybe the newer
kernels don't need these apps to be updated? Anybody seen this out there?
Thanks,
Julio Quijada
