Not sure why you would use it when there ocfs2 is widely available on Linux. -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of ryan_gaffuri@xxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, September 04, 2007 12:09 PM To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: RAC File System Questions would you recommend GFS? -------------- Original message -------------- From: Dan Norris <dannorris@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> I forgot to mention it specifically by name, but GFS is supported, as LSC mentioned. However, it is not free ($2200/year). See https://www.redhat.com/apps/store/enterprise/gfs.html. Also, it does not support OCR and voting disks--just database files and shared OH as documented in 329530.1.
