[Ocfs2-users] OCFS2 vs. Veritas CFS

[John McNulty]

Why are you even considering using a cluster filesystem (of any kind)
for OCR and Voting disks?  With 11g Clusterware you can use the block
devices of the shared disks (or multipath devices) directly.  There's
no need to complicate things by using a filesystem.
