Guides I'm looking at didn't make it clear that they were separate.
Reading more closely, I notice that the specific guide I'm going through only
formats one partition as OCFS2 and sets up the others as
ASM.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<P><FONT size=2>Hi,<BR>I can't understand why you want to use OCFS2 and ASM
together in the same partition.<BR><BR>For a Oracle rack instalation you MUST
use OCFS2 or ASM for each partition. you can't use the two together.<BR><BR>You
you add your ocfs2 partition to asm you will corrupt that partition, possibly
loosing all your data. and you will need to format again the
partition.<BR><BR><BR>Best Regards<BR>Leonardo Rodrigues de
