"On this reading the Oracle RAC was fed garbage by the Sun servers corrupted
during an update process, and this fouled up access to the data."
I wonder if they were using OCFS/OCFS2 on those linux servers.
Doing an OCFS upgrade several years ago, we lost all our drive information.
The data was still on the SAN mind you, but for whatever reason we could no
longer get to it. The host servers didn't see the partitions any longer after
the upgrade to OCFS and we had to remount the partitions and reload from backup.
It was a very strange experience to say the least.

Subject: Oracle and Sun fingered for Sidekick fiasco
Would anyone care to hazard a guess as to what happened? Purely as an academic
exercise, you understand.
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/10/19/sidekick_rac/
I am actually genuinely curious as to what people might think happened. We are
about to head into ASM/RAC territory and it would good to hear some worse case
theories, based on the flimsy outline given in the story.
