Re: SLES 9 SP4 and OCFS2

Hi Werner,

This is not a normal behavior ;-)

Please have a look at http://oss.oracle.com/projects/ocfs2/dist/documentation/ocfs2_users_guide.pdf and post your question to Oracle ocfs2-users list(http://oss.oracle.com/pipermail/ocfs2-users/2008-January/002318.html  ). OCFS2 experts available on ocfs2-users list to take your questions.

PS: In case you all are wondering, which cool article is referred here: http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/18287.html

Regards,
Arun
