Does anyone have a problem with raw devices disappearing upon reboot in
RedHat AS4 QU2 (x86-64)? We find that we have to recreate them on boot via rc
scripts and trust that this is not standard operating procedure?!

There are no issues using rawdevices for ocr.dbf and votingdisk. They work
just fine. Put them in your /etc/sysconfig/rawdevices and create the necessary
mapping to the shared storage. We have several of these running fine on raw
devices with 10G R2 on RHEL4.

Hi
That test is comparing LVM + EXT3 vs ASM + RAW. My comparison would be ASM
+ RAW + LINUX I/O API vs ASM + RAW + ASMLIB I/O API.
I am not sure if ASMLib is better or ASM and RAW is enough.

We have just installed this combination but I haven't tested the
performance yet.
One test is at http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8539

Linux 2.6 and OCFS2 aren't yet cerified so I think you have to use raw
for ocr and voting (if you care about support)
