Ocfs users - Jan 2004 - -o direct option : Oracle or RH implementation ?

Hi,

  Please, could anyone clarify if the available RPMs on the OSS site, related to
TAR and fileutils, were implemented by Oracle or by Red Hat ?

  If they were implemented by Oracle, are they certified/supported by Red Hat ?

  I am asking this, because my fileutils version appears to be higher than the
recommended one, but still the DIRECT option is not available.

  I am on Red Hat AS 2.1 e27

Thanks,
  Priscilla Marques.

that's oracle packages, which oracle supports, not sure if they are ever 
going to be part of the base tree, if you have newer versions then we ll 
have to have a look and update our packages to what red hat has and put 
it on top of the latest.
its just very minor changes so I wouldn't be too worried about tar and 
fileutils.
