theoretically yes... but for practical usage go with atleast iscsi

So w/o shared disk, is it possible to make OCFS2 to work by utilizing
GNBD or etc?

That worked, thanks.

I'm a newbie to OCFS2, so bear with me if some of my
questions sound
too trivial. I couldn't find the answers either in FAQ or
User's Guide.
1. Does OCFS2 need gnbd (or similar thing) to work with
off-the-shelf
PC boxes like GFS does? If I have two nodes A and B, each
has a partition.
How do I include both partitions into a single instance of
OCFS2 file
system?

you need a shared disk. you can use iscsi.
2. Does OCFS2 support cross-node RAID?
no
3. How easy is it to port OCFS2 onto a different transport protocol such as TIPC?
o2net code is pretty well contained and isolated. while we have discussed tipc, not sure if we ever gave it a serious look.

Refer to the FAQ. The module's kernel version should match
the kernel
version.

Hi,

The kernel I'm using is:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Desktop]# uname -a
Linux cfs2 2.6.9-42.7.ELsmp #1 SMP Tue Sep 5 18:29:39 EDT
2006 i686
i686
i386 GNU/Linux

So I installed ocfs2-2.6.9-42.ELsmp-1.2.3-1.i686.rpm.

While trying to load the modules, I got the following error:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] Desktop]# /etc/init.d/o2cb load Loading module
"configfs":
Unable to load module "configfs"
Failed

Any ideas?

Thanks
lin
