I want to know whether _datavolume can be used for non-database filesystems. Oracle support is recommending the use of _datavolume along with _netdev
In reading the documentation, I have found the following which suggests _datavolume should never be used for anything other than the CRS/OCR/DATA/REDO/ARCHIVElogs/control files. The files we are storing are conucrrent log and output files as well as some temporary files. These are shared between 2 concurrent nodes and 2 database nodes. Can you advise is my assumption of not using _datavolume is correct? http://oss.oracle.com/projects/ocfs2-tools/dist/documentation/v1.2/ocfs2_users_guide.pdf It's printed in bold : Oracle database users must mount the volumes containing the Voting Disk file (CRS), Cluster Registry (OCR), Data files, Redo logs, Archive logs and Control files with the datavolume,nointr mount options. The datavolume mount option ensures that the Oracle processes open the files with the o_direct flag. The nointr mount option ensures that the reads and writes on that device are not interrupted by signals. All other volumes, including Oracle home, should be mounted without these mount options. The _netdev mount option is a must for OCFS2 volumes. This mount option indicates that the volume is to be mounted after the network is started and dismounted before the network is shutdown. (The datavolume and nointr mount options are only required for Oracle data files, etc.) _______________________________________________ Ocfs2-users mailing list Ocfs2-users@oss.oracle.com http://oss.oracle.com/mailman/listinfo/ocfs2-users
