Ocfs2 users - Oct 2010 - ocfs2 1.4.4 and 1.4.7 compatibility

Hi Crew,

After an aborted upgrade last night we are left with some nodes on our 
Oracle RAC cluster running ocfs2 1.4.4 and the others running 1.4.7. The 
upgrade was  stopped midway as we discovered an unexpected service 
dependancy. The final two nodes could not be upgraded at this time.

I have read over the documentation and it seems that these two versions 
are disk and network compatible but was wanting reassurance or warning 
from someone who has tried this in the past.

We have always run the same kernel and version so have no experience 
with this.

Can you safely run these version in the same cluster?

Cheers,

ram.

It should be fine... as far as the code is concerned. But I'll let
someone who has actually run it in prod, confirm.
