Hey;

The dba team and I (UNIX admin) are being asked to create a shared ext4 filesystem across a number of nodes.  I believe this is to enable us to remove Veritas Cluster Filesystem (VCFS); but, that's just a suspicion.

So, the questions: has anyone used ASM to create a shared storage filesystem across nodes that are not in any way otherwise related to oracle products?  I know the dbas create shared filesystems via CRS; however, I've not seen ext4 being used.  Is that possible/supported/a good idea?
 
If anyone has any information, documentation, etc, I'd appreciate getting a pointer.
 
thanks for your time.
