I have two partitions with OCFS2 on the same cluster.  On two of the nodes
I have mounted one of the partitions read-only:

/dev/sdc1 on /logs type ocfs2 (rw,_netdev,noatime,heartbeat=local)
/dev/sdb1 on /data type ocfs2 (ro,_netdev,noatime,heartbeat=local)

On the admin node, I have them both mounted read-write:

/dev/sdb1 on /data type ocfs2 (rw,_netdev,noatime,heartbeat=local)
/dev/sdc1 on /logs type ocfs2 (rw,_netdev,noatime,heartbeat=local)

My concern was with writing status files for the other nodes to see.  If
the partition was mounted read-only, would that cause another node to think
that the read-only node has failed?

Thanks,

Kevin
