[Ocfs2-users] Problems building ocfs2 rpm on Fedora 9

[Tina Soles]

OK, another snag.  Fedora 9 does not support RAW devices, so I can't
configure the voting disk or OCR disk to be as such.  Any suggestions? I
think I'm "up a creek" here...

datavolume mount option is only on ocfs2 for enterprise kernels.

For most part, you shouldn't require it for using it as a datastore.
Instead set init.ora param filesystemio_options to directio (or is it
odirect).

The only bit that won't work here is using ocfs2 for the voting disk and
ocr... as datavolume is necessary to force enable odirect.
But you can always use raw for that.
