从Oracle 11.2开始，一个ASM磁盘组可以被用来创建一个或多个集群文件系统。这就是Oracle ASM集群文件系统或Oracle ACFS。这个功能通过在ASM磁盘组中创建特定的volume文件来实现，然后作为块设备给操作系统来使用，再在这些块设备上创建文件系统。下面将介绍ACFS volume文件的rebalance,mirror与extent管理。
测试环境如下:
.64-bit Oracle Linux 5.4
.Oracle Restart and ASM version 11.2.0.4.0 - 64bit
设置ACFS volumes
单实例加载ADVM/ACFS驱动的命令如下，RAC环境不需要，因为已经默认加载
[root@jyrac1 bin]# ./acfsroot install
ACFS-9300: ADVM/ACFS distribution files found.
ACFS-9118: oracleadvm.ko driver in use - cannot unload.

创建一个用来创建ASM集群文件系统的磁盘组
SQL> create diskgroup acfs disk '/dev/raw/raw5','/dev/raw/raw6' attribute 'COMPATIBLE.ASM' = '11.2', 'COMPATIBLE.ADVM' = '11.2';
Diskgroup created.
虽然一个磁盘组可以用来存储数据库文件与ACFS volume files，但是建议为ACFS volume创建一个单独的磁盘组。这将提供角色/功能分离与对数据库文件性能有潜在好处。
检查所有磁盘组的AU大小
SQL> select group_number "Group#", name "Name", allocation_unit_size "AU size" from v$asm_diskgroup_stat;
Group# Name AU size
---------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ----------
1 ARCHDG 1048576
2 CRSDG 1048576
3 DATADG 1048576
4 ACFS 1048576
对于所有磁盘组来说缺省的AU大小为1MB，当后面介绍volume file的区大小时会使用到AU大小。
在磁盘组ACFS中创建三个volume
[grid@jyrac1 ~]$ asmcmd volcreate -G ACFS -s 1G ACFS_VOL1
[grid@jyrac1 ~]$ asmcmd volcreate -G ACFS -s 1G ACFS_VOL2
[grid@jyrac1 ~]$ asmcmd volcreate -G ACFS -s 1G ACFS_VOL3
查看volume信息
[grid@jyrac1 ~]$ asmcmd volinfo -a

在volume创建这后会自动被启用。当服务器重启之后可能需要手动加载ADVM/ACFS驱动(acfsload start)并启用volume(asmcmd volenable -a)。
对于每个volume，ASM将创建一个volume file。在冗余磁盘组中，每个卷将有一个dirty region logging(DRL)文件
SQL> select file_number "File#", volume_name "Volume", volume_device "Device", size_mb "MB", drl_file_number "DRL#" from v$asm_volume;
File# Volume Device MB DRL#

259 ACFS_VOL2 /dev/asm/acfs_vol2-10 1024 258
261 ACFS_VOL3 /dev/asm/acfs_vol3-10 1024 260
除了卷名，设备名与大小之外，还显示了ASM文件号257,259,261给卷设备使用，ASM文件号256,258,260给DRL文件使用。
查询卷文件的AU分布情况

当在normal冗余磁盘组中创建卷，那么卷的每个区同样也会被镜像。可以看到卷文件261有128个区。卷大小为1GB，这意味着每个区大小为8MB或8个AU。卷文件有属于它自己的区大小，不像标准的ASM文件继承来自磁盘组AU大小来初始化区大小。

可以看到每个ASM文件的rebalance操作过程。这种操作行为与数据库文件是一样的，ASM对每个文件执行rebalance操作。ASM元数据文件(1-9)最先被rebalance。ASM然后对卷文件号257,259,261，ASM文件号256,258,260执行rebalance等等。
可以看到对卷文件(与其它ASM文件）执行rebalance操作并不是对存储在相关文件系统中的用户文件进行操作，而是对每个卷文件执行rebalance操作。
ACFS磁盘组中的磁盘联机操作
当一个ASM磁盘脱机时，ASM将创建staleness registry and staleness directory来跟踪磁盘联机时需要修改的区。一旦磁盘联机，ASM使用这些信息来执行快速镜像重新同步。这个功能对于ASM 11.2中的卷文件是不可用的。相反，对于联机的磁盘，ASM将重建整个磁盘内容。这就是为什么对于存储卷文件的磁盘组执行磁盘联机的性能要比存储标准数据库文件的磁盘组执行磁盘联机的性能差的原因。 对于卷文件执行快速镜像重新同步在ASM 12.1及以后的版本中是可以使用的。
小结:
ASM磁盘组可以被用来创建一般目录的集群文件系统。ASM通过在磁盘组中创建卷文件来实现，并将它们作为块设备提供给操作系统使用。现有的ASM磁盘组镜像功能(normal与high冗余)可以被用来在文件系统级别保护用户文件。ASM通过镜像卷文件区来实现，这种方式也用于任何其它的ASM文件。卷文件有它自己的区大小，不像标准数据库文件继承来自磁盘组的AU大小来初始化区大小。对存储ASM集群文件系统卷的ASM磁盘组执行rebalance操作，实际上是对每个卷文件执行rebalance操作，而不是对存储在相关文件系统中的单个用户文件执行rebalance操作。
