I am not taking sides but I think Alexei's postings are a positive 
contribution to this project and more of a contribution than the lurkers 
who write nothing to the list. His feedback does have merit and should 
be considered valuable although it is critical of ocfs2. We, although I 
strongly disagreed, have stopped using ocfs2 and we WERE using it in a 
production environment.
