Hi, I need to mount ocfs2 with datavolume option on open SuSE 10.2 Machines. ocfs2 is 1.3.3 version and does not support the datavolume option ??? I know it's not a supported distro (RHEL, Enterprise Linux, etc) but I want to test this specific distro. I tried to compile the 1.2.4 version but have some problems. Does that mean that ocfs2 is not supported on all 2.6 kernels? Why is it part of the kernel if you can't use all options normally available on the official distros?

The datavolume code is not in mainline. But you should be able to get Oracle RDBMS to work with it. Ensure the init.ora paramater filesystemio_options is set to direct_io.

I am installing Oracle RAC. The problem is - you can't install Oracle CRS as it needs to format the voting file and the CRS file. You need to have an ocfs2 volume mounted with datavolume option before you attempt the CRS installation. Otherwise the installation can not be completed.
