[Ocfs2-users] ocfs2 datavolume option and oracle

[SUNIL.MUSHRAN at ORACLE.COM]

RAC is only supported on (RH)EL and SLES.

It may work with other distros, but support is a different beast.

datavolume mount option is not in mainline kernel. Oracle 10g onwards,
the database itself does not require it... as one can set filesystemio_options
to directio (init.ora param). That away you can store datafiles, redologs,
etc. on ocfs2.

What will not work is using ocfs2 as a repo for voting disk or ocr. That
requires the mount option. One solution for that is to use raw.
