non-RAC Oracle can be installed on ext3. RAC requires a shared filesystem. Red Hat's GFS (formerly Sistina), which is available with RHEL, would work if you had a Storage Area Network. In other words, you're a corporation with some money. Firewire is the cheap man's solution and not really meant for prime time. You can use raw disk on firewire or OCFS (Oracle Clustered File System).
