Which version of the fs and tools are you running?

I am new to this list so I hope this is the correct list to post this
question.
We are using OCFS2 for our shared Oracle home for CRS, ASM, and 2
database homes and the agent home. However, this shared filesystem
locked up on us on Friday. The linux ls command would hang sometimes;
CRS began evicting nodes. We had to stop everything, reboot the nodes
with the OCFS2 mount point commented out, run fsck.ocfs2 in repair
mode which found a bunch of stuff and repaired it. When we ran
fsck.ocfs2 while the filesystem was mounted, it came up with 3 Inode
messages. When we ran it without the filesystem mounted, it came up
with a number of Inode zero length directory messages, many, many
global cluster bitmap messages, and then a few Inode orphan directory
messages. When we ran it a second time, it came up with 2 Inode link
count messages. The third time we ran it, it same up clean.
My questions are:
1) Is OCFS2 stable enough to support shared homes for all the
Oracle homes?
2) Is there any way to find out if an OCFS2 mount point is
having a problem before it gets to a critical point?
3) Would moving all the db dump directories to local mount point
alleviate any of the issues with OCFS2? The reason I ask this is
because of all the trace files and cdmp junk that Oracle creates, in
addition everything CRS is logging.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or comments.
