Hi Seb, if you are using ASMLIB then you need your devices partitioned. I.e. usually you create 1 partition on the device to use it with ASMLIB. With the Filter Driver (ASMFD) you can also stamp devices. So if your devices have the same size and you use ASMFD then you would use devices. If your devices have different sizes or you wnat to use ASMLIB then you would partition them to have same “ASM disk sizes” or use a partion for the whole device and could use ASMFD or ASMLIB. In terms of name changes of devices in /dev you have your devices stamped using ASMFD and hence Oracle detects them regardless of their device-name.

From 19c and on what’s the recommendation in that regard?
How safe is it when you’re on servers where the path /dev/ may change with every reboot, how is dealt with?

Thanks.
