Actually, I was talking about GFS, by Red Hat. For OCFS, I read not to use it 
for ORACLE_HOME,
but when I tried with GFS, it was extremely slow. I was impressed with the GFS 
until I tried using
it for ORACLE_HOME. Speaking of the operating systems, do you know whether RAC 
is supported on 
Solaris/x86? I must say that Solaris is much, much, much more mature OS then 
Linux. My company
has a bunch of Dell boxes running RH EL 3.0 and I am not at all satisfied with 
the performance and
reliability. It seems that popularity of an OS grows proportionally with its 
crappiness.
