-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I wonder why the OCFS2 versions provided by Oracle and Novell are not necessarily kept compatible. Some strange policy at Novell's, I guess. Or not enough money^Wmanpower to go along with every new version.
My application servers aren't a part of RAC. I just have to share a filesystem between RAC and SAP application servers. Since we are migrating from single box SAP servers to the RAC solution, we need a cluster file system. SAP only allows OCFS2 and Veritas filesystems.
