	Wouldn't a SAN negate all of this mess?  Better yet, throw an

SVC in between.          

        I like not having to worry (as much!) about storage.

...the problems we are discussing are inherent in a SAN environment. SAN is just
a bunch of blocks. Now, SVC gets you closer to a generic QOS environment, but
what filesystem goes in the SVC volumes? You still need a CFS if you want to cluster.
Note, I realize you don't **need** a CFS for Oracle RAC to cluster. That would leave
you with a cluster where only the RDBMS is aware there is a cluster...such
a paradigm is a very limited view of clustering. Remember, there are those
who religiously hold the position that you don't **need** anything that doesn't
come from Oracle...I guess that means no file serving...nothing ...
