As per the licensing documentation, you must use ASM for all database files with SE RAC. There is no support for CFS or NFS.From Oracle Database 10g Release 2 Licensing Doc:Oracle Standard Edition and Real Application Clusters (RAC) When used with Oracle Real Application Clusters in a clustered server environment, Oracle Database Standard Edition requires the use of Oracle Clusterware. Third-party clusterware management solutions are not supported. In addition, Automatic Storage Management (ASM) must be used to manage all database-related files, including datafiles, online logs, archive logs, control file, spfiles, and the flash recovery area. Third-party volume managers and file systems are not supported for this purpose.
