Greetings,
After some routine maintenance and cleaning up trace and alert logs on a dev server, a reboot was performed.
When the server came back up, the ASMlib would not initialize, and the /dev/oracleasm/disks folder was gone. ASMlib has been in use since day one on this machine, and has given no troubles in six months of operation.
Querying the disks shows that the headers are still intact, and that they are labelled as ASM disks.
Attempting to re-configure via /etc/init.d/oracleasm configure lead to no success.
I've also uninstalled and re-installed the oracle asm packages.
[root@oraserver~]# rpm -qa | grep asm
kmod-oracleasm-2.0.8-4.el6_6.x86_64
oracleasm-support-2.1.8-1.el6.x86_64
a tail of /var/log/oracleasm shows:
tail -f /var/log/oracleasm
Unable to instantiate disk "VOL2"

uname -r

at this point, I'm out of ideas, and google has not been terribly helpful. Has anyone else run across this before? I'll get what ever information you might need to help suss out a cause.
Thanks for your time,
Ken
