Re: ASM and RAW Devices on RHEL 4

I also couldn't find any info on why would I want to use ASMLib instead of standard Linux raw-devices. If anyone has some facts and/or documents, please share with us.

So far I only found Jared's comment in "Adventures in ASM" article: "Some preliminary testing (admittedly, on a single machine so far) indicates that the of ASMLib I/O may cost a significant I/O penalty. You will need to test this on your own system to determine if this is so for you."
