It looks like this was fixed in 11.2.0.2, so yes, 10.2.0.4 and older
needed the datavolume option.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

With that database version you do not need the datavolume
option in 1.4 or 1.6.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

Are you using OCFS2 to store Oracle database
files? What database version do you use?<br>

The datavolume
option didn't
really do
much. It just
changed the
filesystem
identifier
from OCFS2 to
OCFS V1, so
some programs
which shall
not be named
would detect
it as OCFS and
do something
special.
Those programs
have long
since been
fixed. And
there's
absolutely no
other
functional
behavior
change with or
without the
parameter.<br>
