[Ocfs-users] OCFS and backups to tape

[Sunil Mushran]

Well, is this OCFS or OCFS2? The two products are slightly different.
While OCFS does not allow files to be opened concurrently in buffered
and o_direct modes, OCFS2 does.

However, as ARCSERVE is CA's product, they get to decide what
their product supports.
