Re: Installing Oracle 19c (19.7) on Oracle Linux 8.2......

Well, I got the asmcmd afd_label command to work. Now I'm getting:

• AFD-620: AFD is not supported on this operating system version: 'unknown'

I ran orachk -u -o pre and it passed with flying colors. No critical, error, warning, or info messages.

But I'm stuck w/ AFD-620....
