That's mount type. Yes, we should not have overloaded the term "local".

Mount Type

Valid types are

/cluster /and /local/, with the former also being the default. Specify

/
local/if you intend to use the file system on one node only.




Thanks.

Subject: Re: [Ocfs2-users] mount type heartbeat=local

That mount option is appended by mount.ocfs2. It tells users
the heartbeat mode. "none" means non-clustered. "local" means
the heartbeat region is on the mounted volume. This is the default
mode. In 1.8 we have "global" which means the heartbeat region
has been configured on 1+ devices. local and global are only
pertinent in the o2cb stack. If you are using pacemaker, you will
see cluster_stack=pcmk and not heartbeat=.

There is no heartbeat=cluster.

    Hi,

    when I mount ocfs2 file system, what the heartbeat=local option
    means? what is the difference between heartbeat=local and
    heartbeat=cluster (I know that is default)?


    Thanks.
    Hai
