[Ocfs2-users] from 32bit to 64bit

[Sunil Mushran]

Just to be clear, I am talking purely about the file system. ocfs2
can concurrently mount volumes on the 4 different arches.

However, the application may or may not be able to read the file.
Meaning, you will have to talk to Alfresco whether they can have
32-bit and 64-bit apps concurrently r/w to their repository. Having
said that, a 64-bit system does not necessarily imply 64-bit apps.
The apps itself could be 32-bit.
