All, We are pleased to announce the release of OCFS2 1.2.4-2. This release addresses the lowmem consumption issue that has plagued many users. It also addresses few races in the dlm relating to the lockres migration. The complete list of changes post 1.2.3 is available here: http://oss.oracle.com/projects/ocfs2/news/article_10.html Please note that we did have to update the network protocol in the 1.2.4 release and thus cannot support rolling upgrade from 1.2.3 or earlier to 1.2.4. We are well aware that this causes problems for many users and we would not have made the change if we did not think it necessary. We apologize for the inconvenience. The packages for Oracle's EL4 will be available on the ULN site sometime early next week. Novell has already incorporated all the patches bundled in this release in their SLES10 SP1 code tree. Please contact Novell for the release schedule. Packages for Red Hat's RHEL4 are available in the OCFS2 download area for all ten kernels (starting 2.6.9-22.EL) and six architectures. Follow the links to download the appropriate package. (Refer to the FAQ if you are unclear as to which package you need to install.) As always, we look forward to hearing from you on the ocfs2-users@oss.oracle.com mailing list.

Thanks a lot for this Sunil. I run a cluster of OCFS2 servers for general storage, so my users can access the same data via Apache and Samba, and they immediately gave me comments like "I've never been able to access data this fast". I'm not sure if 1.2.4 had any specific performances enhancements, but we're very happy with it here. Also, I can report the low memory issue hasn't happened since.
