[Ocfs2-devel] OCFS2 support which architectures and can the cluster work under mixed architectures?
Hello guys,>From the document(https://oss.oracle.com/projects/ocfs2/), it says that OCFS2 supports x86, x86_64, ia64 and ppc64. I am not sure that this doc is up-to-date, now, OCFS2 supports any other architecture? e.g. s390x?The second question, since OCFS2 is a cluster FS and support multiple architectures, can a OCFS2 cluster work under a mixed architectures environment? e.g. some nodes are x86, some nodes are ppc64. Thanks a lot. Gang

From the source code, kernel seemed be prepared for big endian, but for tools, maybe not, i found lot of codes reading stuff from disk to memory without conversion in fsck.ocfs2. I am not sure about other tools, so may need do a full check.
