According to the FAQ of OCFS2, OCFS only works on 2.4 kernels and OCFS2 
only works on 2.6 kernels. So you can't mount both of them on the same 
machine simultaneously. But you can access OCFS volume on 2.6 kernels by 
fscat, fsls and fscp. So you can only cope files from OCFS to OCFS2.

Same as above.
