Personally I prefer ASM with OMF even on single instance at you get restart and
other nice commands through srvctl, like adding services.
If I was using a file system, I’d pick xfs over ext4.

After dealing with multiple filesystems of very busy databases for the last
year (one of which is 70+TB), I would say ASM ALL THE WAY. Never go back to
filesystems after using ASM.
Adding space, managing space is so much better on ASM.
Just my $0.02.

Hi all,
considering the technology today: XFS as default FS on Linux 7, the modern HW
and the latest VMware versions, what storage type would you use for a single
database instance on VMware?
Oracle versions are from 11.2 to 12.2, database size varies from 300G to 3T+.
Would you use XFS with non-default values for filesystemio_options or ASM?
