Bill,
what are the access rights on the devices (should be w/r by oracle user),
raw and the underlying block devices? sometimes, when restarting rawdevices,
it makes the /dev/raw/raw* w/r by root only.
another thing, your sysadmin did the formatting thing before root.sh, no?

Mladen,

From the system adminstrator...

I stopped the rawdevices service on both nodes, formatted
/dev/emcpowera1 (which is the multipathed device underlying
/dev/raw/raw1), and was able to mount it and write to it from both
nodes. Seems like it works to me. I've unmounted that file system and
restarted the rawdevices service. You can try your install again;
perhaps there was some data lingering there from a previous installation
which Oracle didn't like this time around.

So there was something incorrect in the way the devices were configured.
As to what, I don't know. Thank you for the catch.

William, you might have a problem with your disk drives. These error
messages tell me that oracle cannot read superblock,
usually a bad sign. Did you try doing a simple "ls" on your OCFS?
