ocfs2 is a shared disk clustered file system. As the disk is accessible by all nodes, there is no need to keep the data in sync. Instead the fs needs to ensure nodes coordinate access such that multiple nodes reading and writing concurrently do not corrupt the fs. You may want to read the ocfs2 1.

You are absolutely right. Sorry about that. I think I didn't have enough caffeine this morning ;-). The procedure is when you have available slots and just want to add a node to the cluster. Any change to the superblock needs to have the partition offline. You don't need to umount to upgrade dat
