[Ocfs2-users] re: different availability requirements for multiple ocfs2 volumes?

Folks,
	quick question.
	In our current 3 node RAC cluster we have 2 ocfs2 volumes setup.
	We have a volume for sharing oracle CRS files (ocr.crs and vote.crs) and a 2nd volume is going to be
	used to store backups and archivelogs. We will copy backups and archivelogs via RMAN from the flash recovery
	area, onto this volume .. and eventually gets copied to another machine or offsite storage.

	My concern is this ...

	The ocfs2 volume for the crs files needs to be highly available etc, and in the event that there are problems,
	o2cb should do its thing.

	The backup volume availability requirements shouldn't be so strict because if the volume is not available, I
	would just rather have my RMAN backup fail, and not have the machine reboot
	.. just because of this volume alone.


	My question is, is it possible to configure the "backup' volume is such a way that the o2cb service will not
	reboot the machine in case that volume has problems?  Maybe disabling the hearbeat for that volume ?
