[Ocfs2-users] Using OCFS2 with More than Two Nodes

[Sunil Mushran]

Define export?

Do you want the nodes to be part of a cluster? As in, want
local fs semantics across nodes.

If so, use a shared device that can accomodate more than
2 nodes. drbd8 is great for what it does but also limits users
to 2 nodes.
