<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=291255917-01122009>Hi. I am Dave
from the EBS Performance team. I heard that there will be a certification
project around using EBS and OCFS2. I got your name and contact
information from bug# 9163548 and was hoping you had some time to answer a few
questions. If you dont have time or are busy to answer them, can you
please forward this email to someone in the OCFS2 team?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=291255917-01122009>1) Is OCFS2
considered to be a generic filesystem compared to linux ext2/ext3? Or is
it primarily used just for RAC?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=291255917-01122009>2) Does the kernel
driver expose any perf metrics about its performance? (similar to perf
monitor on windows?)</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=291255917-01122009>3) Are there are any
whitepapers / perf docs / website related to OCFS2 performance vs linux
ext2/ext3 vs ASM vs NFS vs RAW devices?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
