I wonder why the OCFS2 versions provided by Oracle and Novell are not
necessarily kept compatible. Some strange policy at Novell's, I guess.
Or not enough money^Wmanpower to go along with every new version.

My application servers aren't a part of RAC. I just have to share a
filesystem between RAC and SAP application servers. Since we are
migrating from single box SAP servers to the RAC solution, we need a
cluster file system. SAP only allows OCFS2 and Veritas filesystems.

Regards,
Werner
