ACFS-9459: ADVM/ACFS is not supported on this OS version: '4.14.35-1902.300.11.el7uek.x86_64'

ACFS Support On OS Platforms (Certification Matrix). (Doc ID 1369107.1)

Why ACFS?

1. Oracle Automatic Storage Management Cluster File System (Oracle ACFS) is a multi-platform, scalable file system, and storage management technology that extends Oracle Automatic Storage Management (Oracle ASM) functionality to support customer files maintained outside of Oracle Database. 

2. Oracle ACFS supports many database and application files, including executables, database trace files, database alert logs, application reports, BFILEs, and configuration files. Other supported files are video, audio, text, images, engineering drawings, and other general-purpose application file data.

3. Oracle ACFS does not support files for the Oracle Grid Infrastructure home.

4. Oracle ACFS does not support Oracle Cluster Registry (OCR) and voting files.

5. Oracle ACFS functionality requires that the disk group compatibility attributes for ASM and ADVM be set to 11.2 or greater.

Default Oracle 19c Base release was not installed with ACFS drivers, While creating ACFS volume we get error, We need to apply the any RU patch to make use of the ACFS feature.
