I found this from ocfs1.4 document: g) NFS OCFS2 volumes can be exported as NFS volumes. This support is limited to NFS version 3, which translates to Linux kernel version 2.4 or later. Users must mount the NFS volumes on the clients using the nordirplus mount option. This disables the READDIRPLUS RPC call to workaround a bug in NFSD, detailed in the following link:

We upgraded our production database cluster (6 node) from EL4 Update 5 to EL5 Update 5, including upgrading OCFS2 from 1.2.9 to 1.4.4. We are now noticing slowdown of batch jobs in Oracle, while hotbackup runs faster. One thing we saw is that journal mode changed from write-back to ordered, as we don't specify journal mode during mount. Oracle sees this as slowdown based on higher IO latency,

Hi, according to cluster file system logic and from my testing experience on other FS, the more nodes add into clustered file system, the more performance degradation it will have, two questions: 1. Is it possible to tune ocfs2 so that the performance issue wouldn't be a breakdown problem? 2. How many cluster nodes do you guys experience will have major performance issue? The fs we use is 90%
