[Ocfs-users] Re: H(U): A few OCFS questions

[Sunil Mushran]

Depends on the degree and openness of taint. ;)

I mean, rule-of-thumb is that if the issue is ocfs specific, we'll help.
However, if the issue is tainted kernel specific, then typically not.

1.0.14 requires U4 (-27) and will not install on -20. Use 1.0.13.

Any backup tool should use o_direct to read the files. If SQLBacktrack
does that, then it will work. Else, not.
