On mainline, you need to have the CRS and VOTING files in raw devices.
All other datafiles can reside on ocfs2.<br>
<br>
Note that Oracle is not supported on mainline kernels so, if you plan
to run a production database, please consider using Enterprise Linux

The problem is - you can't install Oracle CRS as it
needs to format the voting file and the CRS file.
You need to have an ocfs2 volume mounted with
datavolume option before you attempt the CRS
installation.
Otherwise the installation can not be completed.
Thanks
