Just to add some comments from a user of Oracle 9i with OCFSv1 on RedHat AS2.1 who tried to upgrade to EL4 and OCFSv2 and failed miserable: Oracle support pretty much told us the problems we were running into are problems of OCFSv2 and they weren't really willing to help us. The feeling we were getting was that two Oracle departments (the one writing the Database RAC engine and the one writing OCFSv2) are fighting with each other. In general I have a very low opinion of Oracle and their quality of code and tools. Like patch revision numbering? Does not exist. Patch tools suppose to patch all machines in clusters? You wish. Decent error messages? They never heard about that. We ended up with staying on AS2.1 and OCFSv1 for now and just migrating our data to a new SAN.
