Mladen,

Ignore the messages. They are just informal ones and will be removed
from future(!)versions. Basically ASM close (or dismount) those groups
when it closes the file descriptors on that DG and mounts when it
opens first file on that DG.

I have a RAC database with a standby. Both RAC and standby are on ASM.
On standby,
I used the flashback recovery area located on the DGFRA diskgroup to
create standby redo
logs. There aren't any problems but I am perplexed by entries like this:

Why in the world is it unmounting/mounting the diskgroup?  What useful
purpose does it serve and why
doesn't the instance just leave it mounted?
