I would urgently need a Cluster Filesystem that runs with Oracle Clusterware. Currently Cluster Filesystems with Solaris need very expensive solutions (like Veritas Storage Foundation or SUN Cluster) that are no longer accepted by the customers (with regard to Linux solutions). That's why I want tp propose to think about a project to integrate ocfs2 in OpenSolaris. ClusterZFS would be surely an interesting next step. But unnecessarily complex for RDBMS purposes that needs a cluster FS only for some archival purposes and shared access for backup and restore (ZFS characteristics like copy on write are not all too good for RDBMS with much scattered I/O, so we would always prefer Cluster Raw Devices over Cluster Files for normal database files)
