[Ocfs2-users] OCFS2 Certification with RHEL4 and 10g/9i RAC

[Adam Kenger]

I don't know if this helps anyone, but according to the most recent  
documentation out of Oracle, unless you are using Enterprise Edition,  
then you MUST use ASM as your filesystem in order to be supported by  
Oracle.  I can dig out the manual and page numbers for that reference  
if anyone cares, but it is the direction that Oracle is pushing  
everyone.
