[Ocfs2-users] nested ocfs2 filesystems

[Sunil Mushran]

This should be totally transparent the the filesystem.

Use "ls -i" to debug. That will dump the inode number.
As the inode number is tied to the block number on the device,
see if they match.

You can also use debugfs.ocfs2 to traverse thru the directories
on the block devices directly.
