[Ocfs2-users] 1.3.3 mount problem

[Marcos E. Matsunaga]

Ivo,

On mainline, you need to have the CRS and VOTING files in raw devices.
All other datafiles can reside on ocfs2.

Note that Oracle is not supported on mainline kernels so, if you plan to
run a production database, please consider using Enterprise Linux
(http://linux.oracle.com).
