 OCFS2 filesystem
 ==================
-OCFS2 is a shared disk cluster file system with many similarities to
-ext3. You'll want to install the tools in order to at least get
-"mount.ocfs2".
+OCFS2 is a general purpose extent based shared disk cluster file
+system with many similarities to ext3. It supports 64 bit inode
+numbers, and has automatically extending metadata groups which may
+also make it attractive for non-clustered use.
 
+You'll want to install the ocfs2-tools package in order to at least
+get "mount.ocfs2".
