David covered your other points pretty well.  I'm not sure why you think you 
need EVMS to use an ocfs2 file system.  I was playing around with ocfs2 in 
early July, and I wasn't using EVMS at all.  What we _were_ doing was setting 
up one SLES10 system as a storage server, and connecting to it from the other 
SLES10 systems via iSCSI.  Those other systems formed a cluster using ocfs2.  
Pretty slick actually.  It would be even slicker using virtualized networks for 
the iSCSI traffic.  :)
