Ocfs2 users - Apr 2006 - OCFS2 on top of LVM2?

Hello,

One of the perceived limitations with OCFS2 vs. ASM is the fact that an
OCFS2 filesystem must be created per LUN whereas ASM manages multiple
LUNs and stripes across it.

Are there any efforts going into using OCFS2 on top of LVM such that LVM
would stripe or concatenate LUNS and allow me to create a large OCFS2
filesystem?  My target production systems are RHEL 4 x86-64.

Thanks!

You can use OCFS2 on shared logical volumes with straight-forward
striping or concatenation, sure.  That kind of static aggregation is a
far cry from the kind of active management that ASM can do with its
hooks into the database, though.
