[Ocfs2-users] OCFS2 1.6 for RHEL?

[Kristian Jörg]

We are using CentOS (based on RHEL5). So this basically means we are 
stuck with ocfs2 1.4 forever when it comes to official releases?
But I guess when you release the source code for 1.6 I could try and 
compile it myself for CentOS? 1.6 is still GPL right?

We have been testing ocfs2 since we have been having huge problems with 
GFS with the kind of filesystems we have (lots and lots of small files 
and mostly read access). Ocfs2 seems to solve all these performance 
problems and we had high hopes for it. However the news that 1.6 and 
forward will not be available for RHEL/CentOS is bad news. I do hope you 
will reconsider. A big user base is the best way to make successful 
products IMHO.
