[Ocfs-users] ocfs performance

[Susan M. Wilson]

Hi,

I'm new to the list, so forgive me if I'm asking several naive questions 
that have been answered a dozen times before. 
I have RHAS with kernel version 2.4.9-e.10smp, running 
ocfs-support-1.0-2, ocfs-tools-1.0-2, ocfs-2.4.9-e.10-smp-1.0-2.  I have 
Oracle 9iR2 RAC up and running on an IBM fiber channel architecture.  I 
find it to be extremely slow compared to other stand alone Oracle 
databases and believe it to be related to IO off the fiber.  Truthfully, 
I really don't know whether it's the fiber itself or the ocfs, but I 
don't believe it's the RAC aspect of things.  In general I have not seen 
release notes for successive versions of ocfs from 1.0-2 and up and have 
a couple of questions: 
Can I expect a performance improvement going to 1.0-9 from 1.0-2?
Since I have seen no release notes, can anyone tell me some compelling 
reasons for upgrading.  For instance:
Does anyone know when/if the problem of crashing server when moving 
files around on the ocfs will be/has been fixed?

Thanks,
Susan
