Slightly OT: 10g shared raw volumes: Is there a "best" partition type in Linux for raw partitions used for CRS objects

So assume for a moment there is no alternative for the CRS disk and voting disk other than /sbin/fdisk configured raw on a certain Linux combination.

I've gotten a suggestion that type "swap" (carefully *NOT* really configured as used swap at startup) would be a good choice, since any inadvertant attempt to mount the device will be met with a polite slap in the face instead of possibly mounting the raw acreage and having bad things take place on the CRS space.

Any comments?

I'm guessing that the type really won't affect i/o performance at all, since it will be used direct, being raw.
