You can use raw devices ( char dev ) or block devices if your oracle binaries has O_DIRECT ( 10gR2 has it by default iirc ) for oracle clusterware. AS far as I understand, Nicholas asked if we have an existing RAC ( for example under ASM ) and in a point in time you want to use ocfs2 to share some filesystems ( comes to my mind the UTL_FILE_DIR ). If this assumption is correct, you can install/configure/use RAC with ASM and some time after you can install ocfs2 and configure it without touching nothing from RAC infrastructure/environment.
