AFAIK OCFS was never a POSIX compliant filesystem (or intended to be so) and I'm not sure if it's in the mainline kernels any more. OCFS2 is POSIX compliant and in the mainline kernel but I don't know if it's intended as being a large scale filesystem, it might be targeted more like GFS at a small number of systems doing a specific task (like running a DBMS ;)). > Sun has some interesting assets in virtualization. > I want to see where Oracle goes with that. Personally I want to know what they plan for their existing HPC support; Sun just won big in Australia with the combined ANUSF and BoM cluster and so hopefully they'll commit to supporting that deal long term! cheers, Chris -- Christopher Samuel - (03) 9925 4751 - Systems Manager The Victorian Partnership for Advanced Computing P.O.
