[Coreutils-users] Running OCFS 1.2.5 on RHEL/IA64 what version of GNU file tools(cp, mv etc..) to use and where to get them

[Sunil Mushran]

Can you give some numbers?

We don't officially have odirect enabled coreutils as OCFS2 handles buffered
operations properly.

Having said that, we did go ahead and add similar functionality to cp/mv
in coreutils shipped with EL4 but it is still not clear whether this is 
useful or not.

Going forward, as in EL5, afair, gnu dd has the direct option. So no need
for custom packages.
