[Ocfs2-users] OCFS 1.2.4 and extended attributes

[Cline, Ernest]

I suppose it is a matter of personal preference, as well as what you are
trying to accomplish.  GFS requires redhat cluster suite, which is a
full blown cluster set up.  You don't have to set it up like that, you
can do a minimal setup which will only do a filesystem share, but its
still a lot of complexity, multiple lock managers and things.  I prefer
the way OCFS2 is setup, where the setup is a little less invasive, but
the setup is the same.  I only have a need for a shared file system, I
don't have a cluster-aware application, nor does it need to be.  So for
me, OCFS2 was the way to go.

Hello Ernest,

Can you say, why you prefer OCFS over GFS?
 
Greetings

Thanks to all the devs for this project, I'm very happy it with it, and
much prefer it to GFS.
