[Ocfs-users] cp --o_direct

[David Sharples]

Another question.

When my database is running, I do

[oracle at LNCSTRTLDB03 LPTE3]$ cp --o_direct xdb01.dbf /tmp
cp: cannot open `xdb01.dbf' for reading: Permission denied
[oracle at LNCSTRTLDB03 LPTE3]$

When the database is shudown it works.

Is this normal for ocfs because with any other filesystem I can just
copy a file at any time (Its only a testing, I know I cant copy
datafiles and have them consistent)

Thanks
