Yes, unlike ocfs (rel 1), ocfs2 is a general purpose fs. The
website is incorrect. Ping your Veritas sales/support rep.

I thought OCFS2 is designed to be a general file system, different from
OCFS, which can only do direct_io. If so, I don't see any issue for
Netbackup to backup files from OCFS2 LUN, as long as it is not a
database file. Even ORACLE_HOME can be installed in OCFS2 LUN. If so,
and Netbackup does not support backing up from there, which would be bad
for Netbackup shops.
Thanks,
Hai

Subject: Re: [Ocfs2-users] RMAN backupset in OCFS2 and NetBackup
fyi... while the ocfs2 fs has reused ext3's directory handling code, and
uses
jbd for journalling, it has not, in any way, evolved from ext3. It will
be better
if you ping the vendor (veritas for netbackup) to ensure that netbackup
is
configured correctly.

Is there anyone who's putting RMAN backupset in OCFS2 LUN and then
using
Netbackup client to backup RMAN backupset files from OCFS2 LUNs to
Netbackup server? Is it Ok to do this? I am not sure if additional
Netbackup configuration would be needed in this case. Since OCFS2 is
evolved from EXT3, I assume there's no need to do additional Netbackup
configuration for this disk to disk backup, but I am not sure.
Please help,
Thanks,
