Ocfs2 users - Oct 2005 - OCFS2 for non-clustered environment

I'm looking at trying out OCFS2 for a single node (non RAC) environment, 
mainly to get the performance benefits over going through the ext2/ext3 
file system.
The intent is to have a single OCS2 partition which will only contain 
the database data files (oradata directory).
Is there anything special I should do to get this working?
For instance, do I still need to configure and run the cluster service 
in this situation?
BTW, I'm planning to run the new 1.0.7 release on RHEL4-U2.

thanks,

Yes, you will need to setup the cluster and start it and all.
In your case, the cluster.conf needs to have only one
node defined. It should be fine.
