Hi ,
We are considering using OCFS2 for our HPC . So I just finished upgrading
to SLES 9 SP2 and it took me another 30 min to get OCFS2 running on my two nodes
(Pentium III) attached to shared SCSI susbsystem .
Our calculations are genereally I/O bound.
I have couple of questions .
What kind of file locking does OCFS2 support ?
Can I export OCFS 2 shares as NFS shares ?
I will probably have more questions once I start running more tests.
TIA
