[Ocfs2-users] mixed environment / why is setting up an oracle cluster on windows so hard?

[Saar Maoz]

Not sure what you're trying to do.. but if you're just looking to share 
files between these two systems on the filesystem level you can try NFS or 
Samba, those run mixed environments without any issues. If you want to run 
Oracle in RAC Mixed OS's you are out of luck for the time being :)

good luck,

Saar.
