ASM or Linux filesystem for standalone databases

Y.RamletMar 12 2020 — edited Mar 13 2020

Operating System : Oracle Linux 7.7

RDBMS version : 19c

I need to build 3 production databases (3 CDBs and few PDBs inside them).

Is it better to store database files in ASM or good old Linux filesystem (LVM with ext4) ?

I mean, ASM does striping, mirroring and you can add/remove disks from ASM diskgroups online.

But, all these ASM functionalities are available in Linux's Logical volume manager as well. Right ?
