[Ocfs2-users] Which version of ocfs2/tools is stable on SLES10 SP2

[Peter Santos]

Sunil,
 we just called Novell and they tell us that the latest version of OCFS2
on SLES10 SP2 is 1.4.0?
 There seems to be an SKD patch that includes 1.4.0.5 ... but no 1.4.1?

 Do you know if they make that available via the standard distribution?
