what exactly does it do that's unique?
I appear to stand corrected as per the other post, with SGI and IBM
offerings that do similar things, but providing shared r/w access to a
common physical volume isn't exactly common.
I'm not sure why OCFS keeps coming up, since it's not a normal, general
purpose file system. It's only useful for putting Oracle DB volumes on it.
ocfs2 is a general file system and has been available for quite some time
(and is very easy to setup).
Fair enough. The documentation I had read on it seemed to imply otherwise,
which is why I went with GFS. I cannot say that I am in any way regretting
that choice. :-)
