[Ocfs2-users] OCFS2-versions and SLES9/10

[Thomas.Zimolong at bmi.bund.de]

hi folks,

i'm currently somewhat confused about OCFS2 version and SLES9/SLES10.

unfortunately the new http://download.novell.com does not make it easier to
find the current version of the ocfs2-rpms (or, BTW, to find anything at
all...).
newest version i found there for SLES9 was 1.2.1 (date 2006-05-19).

any hints on how to get the matching version of ocfs2tools and ocfs2console?

the modules currently running in our environment are:
--snip
bmiam108:~ # modinfo ocfs2
license:        GPL
author:         Oracle
version:        1.2.3-SLES 7C474E63163003A704F6CD2
description:    OCFS2 1.2.3-SLES Wed Aug  9 13:16:58 PDT 2006 (build sles)
depends:        ocfs2_nodemanager,ocfs2_dlm,jbd
supported:      yes
vermagic:       2.6.5-7.283-smp SMP gcc-3.3
-snap
all other ocfs2-modules have the same version.

system-info:
--snip
bmiam108:~ # uname -a
Linux bmiam108 2.6.5-7.283-smp #1 SMP Wed Nov 29 16:55:53 UTC 2006 x86_64
x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
bmiam108:~ # cat /etc/SuSE-release
SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 (x86_64)
VERSION = 9
PATCHLEVEL = 3
bmiam108:~ # SPident

CONCLUSION: System is up-to-date!
  found    SLES-9-x86_64-SP3 + "online updates"
--snap

but(!):
-snip
bmiam108:/opt/oracle/archivelogs # rpm -qa | grep ocfs2
ocfs2-tools-1.1.4-0.5
ocfs2console-1.1.4-0.5
-snap

and as if that wasn't disturbing enough, somehow we managed to
make several ocsf2-FS's with these tools... ;-).


what I found in the FAQ is:
--snip
Novell is shipping two SLES9 releases, viz., SP2 and SP3.
    * The latest kernel with the SP2 release is 2.6.5-7.202.7. It ships with

...

what i find on my CDs/DVDs is (same versions for x86 and x86_64):
SLES9-SP2
