[Ocfs2-users] OCFS2 inside Virtuozzo nodes

[Sunil Mushran]

The ocfs2 1.x packages are only meant for sles and (rh)el and
not other distributions. 2.6.18 and 2.6.16 shipped with (rh)el
and sles respectively are not the same as the original mainline
tree. So building it will require some development work.

One option for you is to ping the kernel vendor and see if they
can help you.

Other option is to use various xen solutions offered by oracle,
suse and rh.
