[Ocfs2-users] relation between ocfs2 1.2.4-2 and kernel.org GIT HEAD

[davide rossetti]

dear OCFS2 gurus,
I have a dubt.... what is the relation between latest ocfs2 source,
e.g. 1.2.4-2, and kernel.org ocfs2,e.g. GIT head. ?
I mean, are they exactly the same ?
I suspect that:
1) as the 2.6.x in kernel API changes, you have to track it in the ocfs2 GIT
2) 1.2.4-2 is for vendor distros, so you code against a old-but-stable
kernel API
If the above is true, then those two codes are similar but not quite the same..
unless you use some thin sw layer to abstract from the kernel API

PS: I'd like to add a onerror=umount mount option. It'd be friendlier
in my environment, in which ocfs2 is used by a numerical computing
cluster which uses the SAN for both temporary and permanent data
storage

thanks in advance
