Block devices are supported from 10.2.0.2 - at least in Linux.
We have 10.2.0.4 on ASM with block devices - works without any problem so far.

And I forgot the second part of my posting.....so, as people move from RAW to
ASM, they're still going to use RAW volumes to allocate storage to ASM, right?
Seems to me it would be pretty silly to put filesystems on all your storage,
just so you can hand it over to ASM.
So, seems to me, Oracle will still deal w/ raw, albeit perhaps only through the
ASM path....?

We were historically a shop that used raw, almost everywhere, going back to at
least 7.0 days. We have begun moving towards ASM, as we move to 10g/11g, but
we still have much raw, mostly on 9iR2 databases, and even a couple of 8.1.7
stragglers.....

Generally before something is deprecated, an alternative is
introduced. My guess is that 11gR2 will provide something.
Do many people use raw devices for data files? e.g. data file is
actually a raw volume
Most of the customers that I have worked with have moved from raw to ASM.
