[Ocfs2-users] Ocfs2-users Digest, Vol 167, Issue 7

[David Johle]

Agreed.  We had a lot of discussions with RedHat and their 
reseller/partner companies about their decision to intentionally 
exclude OSFS2 support from newer versions.  As a result, we migrated 
our RHEL5 systems that needed OCFS2 to OEL7 and found it to be a more 
pleasant experience as well as less expensive.

In fact, we also converted all existing non-OCFS2-related RHEL7 
installations over to OEL7.  IIRC The process was super easy, once 
scripted it took maybe 5 minutes plus a reboot on each system.
