[Ocfs2-users] Info on Version Upgrade

[Sunil Mushran]

As far as ocfs2 is concerned, the current version of ocfs2 1.2
is ocfs2 1.2.9. You will find the packages for your kernel on
oss.oracle.com. The news section has the list of changes/bugs fixed.

asmlib also has some updates. You can review the fixes to see
whether an upgrade is warranted.

For all other qs, ping Oracle support and/or Red Hat support.
