I have no concerns with OCFS however OCFS2 being promoted as a general
purpose filesystem does make me nervous.  This is because there are so many
more variables involved when positioning a filesystem for such broad use.

We've been using OCFS 1.1 and it's very stable and was a breeze to setup.

I don't get this.. I installed OCFS 1.1 a while back. It simply
worked. And is still working. And is so darn useful I have envious
Unix HP-UX & Solaris sysadmin colleagues desperate for something
similar to use.

I used ASMlib with Powerpath and ran into all kinds of weird
intermittant I/O problems.. which the TAR finally suggesting were
"problems" (I call it plain bugs) in EMC's Powerpath. I lost about 4
weeks of production & development time as a result. Which I could not
afford to loose.

And now some of you complain about OCFS and make all kinds of
dispariging comments on the subject? If you have a gripe, please get
technical because I fail to find any value in a posting that just
bitches about a product.
