OCFS2 filesystem
|
|
|
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
|
OCFS2 is a general purpose extent based shared disk cluster file
|
|
|
|
|
system with many similarities to ext3. It supports 64 bit inode
|
|
|
|
|
numbers, and has automatically extending metadata groups which may
|
|
|
|
|
also make it attractive for non-clustered use.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You'll want to install the ocfs2-tools package in order to at least
|
|
|
|
|
get "mount.ocfs2" and "ocfs2_hb_ctl".
