From the User's Guide:

> Oracle database users must mount the volumes containing the Voting Disk file 
> (CRS), Cluster
> Registry (OCR), Data files, Redo logs, Archive logs and Control files with the
> datavolume,nointr mount options. 

However when this is tried, I get the following:

> ocfs2_parse_options:822 ERROR: Unrecognized mount option "datavolume" or 
> missing value

Searching the archives I found this post:

Which seems to indicate that an older version of ocfs2 will be needed to 
host an Oracle installation.

However, I also saw this post: 
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg02462.html

Which seems to indicate that a newer kernel (and thereby newer ocfs2) is 
needed to correct a memory leak.

So, I'm a little confused as to which ocfs2 version should be used and 
whether or not that means an older kernel (and potentially a memory 
leak) will be required.
