RAC重用裸设备

环境：

VBOX

Oracle ENTERPRISE LINUX 5.8_X86_64

ORACLE DATABASE 10.2.0.1.0

ORACLE CLUSTERWARE 10.2.0.1.0

在重新搭建一套RAC环境的时候，因为不想多建新的OCR/VOTING DISK共享磁盘，就打算使用上一套RAC环境中用过的共享磁盘。也考虑过，重用这些共享磁盘，可能会出一些状况，打算尝试一下，看看在哪些步骤上会出问题。

但是在第一个节点执行$ORA_CRS_HOME/root.sh时，报错：

果然，“不负我望”，还是出问题了，看来用fdisk不解决问题啊！

查了一番帖子，采用了如下方式：

[root@rac5 rules.d]# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb1
dd: writing to `/dev/sdb1': No space left on device

然后重新执行root.sh，就成功了！其实我对dd也不熟悉，查了一下说法：/dev/zero文件代表一个永远输出 0的设备文件，使用它作输入可以得到全为空的文件。
 
好吧，就是把之前被用过的几个裸设备变成彻底空白。就可以重新使用了。
