RE: Linux RAC and asynch io/IO slaves

Chris,
 I found this white paper from metalink to be helpful.

Asynchronous I/O (aio) on RedHat Advanced Server Version 2.1 - 3.0 (Note:225751.1)

http://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=225751.1

Everything I have read advocates aio on RHAS 3.0.

I have heard also it can cause crashes and corruption, but found no meat
to that statement no open bugs for 9205/9206 on rhas 3.0 Anyone with any hard facts as to real issues or successes? Anyone done an IO slave implementation in Linux/RAC? IO slaves in many ways are more robust and multi purpose than asych IO functionality...but I'm wondering how that performs with RAC.

Yes, I would and will test either or both before consideration with prod,
but looking for others insights if they have been down the road.
