Hello all, SUSE has been contributing to OCFS2 since 2005 with significant contributions to the project. OCFS2 is part of the SUSE Linux Enterprise High Availability Extension which is free for all paid SLES for System z subscriptions. SUSE supports OCFS2 on all architectures that SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (x86, x86_64, ia64, ppc64 and s390x) runs on. SUSE will continue to develop and enhance OCFS2 for all of the architectures including System z. While Oracle has chosen to limit customer choice, there is another vendor supporting OCFS2 on IBM System z: SUSE.
