1.5.1.3 Raw Devices
Raw devices are disk partitions or logical volumes that have not been formatted with a file system. When you use raw devices for database file storage, Oracle writes data directly to the partition or volume, bypassing the operating system file system layer. For this reason, you can sometimes achieve performance gains by using raw devices. However, because raw devices can be difficult to create and administer, and because the performance gains over modern file systems are minimal, Oracle recommends that you choose Automatic Storage Management or file system storage in preference to raw devices.
Linux下使用裸设备存储选项安装oracle时可以参照以下方式进行配置
此例中linux下有/dev/sda /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd /dev/sde /dev/sdf
/dev/sda 用于操作系统软件安装
/dev/sdb 用于做ocr disk
/dev/sdc 用于做votingdisk
/dev/sdd /dev/sde /dev/sdf 用于做共享磁盘存储,每块磁盘按照指定大小(500M)划分分区
磁盘分区情况如下
