Being a Linux disk name and had at that, you are at least
a bit safer than if it was /dev/sda. With the typical bare-bones
stripped down clusters some are deploying RAC on, I encourage all to
make sure that /dev/sda is pointing to the same physical disk
on all nodes of the cluster before doing this. Remember, Linux
is not very cluster-aware and the device-slip problems typical
of legacy unix clusters of the early 90s can still plague
a linux cluster. That is, if you are on a bare-bones, stripped
down Linux cluster ...
