I wouldn't necessarily agree with that. > I wouldn't deploy any new OCFS2 systems until Oracle commits to support of > OCFS2 1.6 and beyond in non-Oracle distributions. 1.4 ( which is what is in > HAE) is missing some useful updates. Oracle doesn't provide support to end customers of anyone except themselves. The distribution providers do that, or in the case of System z, IBM might. Both OCFS2 and the ocfs2-tools are GPL licensed, hence the source is pretty easily obtained. Including that of ocfs-tools 1.6.4, which I just checked. Plus, Oracle employees aren't the only ones developing OCFS2. That's one of the major benefits of getting your code into the main kernel tree. Other people can and do hack on it.
