In Linux, ensuring persistent device names for storage volumes is crucial, especially in environments where device names can change across reboots or when new devices are added. This persisting mapping become more crucial if you want to provision raw storage volume for Oracle ASM disks. There are two common methods to achieve this persistence either…
Linux, like other operating systems, has an efficient and affective memory management for managing memory hungry Application or database.
