Actually, I was talking about GFS, by Red Hat. For OCFS, I read not to use it for ORACLE_HOME, but when I tried with GFS, it was extremely slow. I was impressed with the GFS until I tried using it for ORACLE_HOME. Speaking of the operating systems, do you know whether RAC is supported on Solaris/x86? I must say that Solaris is much, much, much more mature OS then Linux. My company has a bunch of Dell boxes running RH EL 3.0 and I am not at all satisfied with the performance and reliability. It seems that popularity of an OS grows proportionally with its crappiness.
