Current ocfs2 version would mean the current stable version which  is 
version 1.2.7.  We are using kernel 2.6.16.13. You do know that the 
ocfs2 version that this kernel ships with is broken and completely 
outdated? 

Why are you answering a question I did not even ask?

I know that opensuse ships with ocfs2 and that it is in the mainline 
kernel, but I didn't ask that. I asked if the current version of 
ocfs2(1.2.7) source would build against opensuse's 2.6.16.13 or 
2.6.22.13  kernel. Anyone?
