Oracle Cluster File System 2 (OCFS2)
A Brief History and a Glance at the Future
When users of the first version of the Oracle Cluster FileSystem (OCFS) began demanding the sort of features found in a normal native filesystem, (a real general purpose cluster filesystem), OCFS2 was the result, according to Wim Coekaerts. OCFS2 is very easy to use, he writes, in part because of the simple text file that contains the node information (hostname, node number, cluster name) and a file that contains the cluster heartbeat timeouts. OCFS2 today, in the mainline kernel, is pretty much feature complete in terms of integration with every filesystem feature Linux offers, Coekaerts avers.
