Hi,

>From the main ocfs2 site, I read this.

For users building from OCFS2 1.2.x tarballs
<http://oss.oracle.com/projects/ocfs2/files/source/v1.2/> with kernels
2.6.14 or later, use the following make command:

	make GENERIC_DELETE_INODE_NOT_TRUNCATES=1

NOTE: OCFS2 1.2 does not build with kernels 2.6.20 or later. Use the
version bundled with that kernel. All patch fixes for OCFS2 applicable
to this kernel version and later are maintained here
<http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/mfasheh/ocfs2/backports/>.

Does this mean that after systems upgrade to kernel 2.6.20 we will
/only/ be able to use the kernel supplied ocfs2 version and must upgrade
the kernel to use a newer release?

Thanks,
Randy Ramsdell
