[Ocfs2-users] Shared Root configuration

[Marc Grimme]

yes the problem are still the support of shared mmaps.
We tryed to port the open-sharedroot cluster to ocfs2 some month ago but the 
unsupport of shared mmap in any enterprise distribution stoped it.
Until that runs it should be possible.

That's great.
Will it be also available for supported kernels for RHEL or SLES?
