OCFS2 should work, I have only tried it on with oracle databases and apps.
 
ASM is only for Oracle.

Does Oracle say that OCFS2 wont work?  I think it will...

Hi,

We have 3 RHEL5 machines and are trying to decide how to correctly configure
them as a clustered system that will run a variety of applications, as well
as many Oracle databases.

Oracle tells us that the only options are ASM or CLVM with GFS.  Isn't ASM
only for Oracle databases, though?

We are currently at release 10.2.0.4.0 for our Oracle databases.

Any comments?

Note that we currently have these 3 machines set up with LVM2 and Oracle
Clusterware, but are not running any RAC databases, just single instance
databases.  The problem we've run into is in trying to resize the LUNs.
