I’m willing to bed ASM will be the big one going forward…meaning you build ASM using either block devices (non-Linux) or using asmlib (linux), then store everything, including the OCR and voting disk, on ASM. Though that’s not possible now, the Metalink note says that the OCR and voting disk will be able to go on ASM in 12G.

Ehr.. what the hack? In a time that we are walking away from NAS (read: NFS) an moving to SAN with ocfs2-filesystems, THIS is actually going to happen?
While ocfs2 is unstable as a cardhouse (I tried mounting an 1GB Oracle VM virtual machine image on ocfs2 through the loopback option on RHEL5.2 – CRASH!! Several times…) and dumped into the hands of the OSS-community, Oracle ™ is making this move? I’m flabbergasted…
And what about ASM?
