One thing I have ben told here is that HP's Dataprotector(backup software) doesn't currently recognise an OCFS2 filesystem as a valid location to back up from. That may be enough reason to use GFS instead. Cheers

Subject: Re: RAC File System Questions

would you recommend GFS?

Original message -------------- From: Dan Norris <dannorris_at_dannorris.com>

I forgot to mention it specifically by name, but GFS is supported, as LSC mentioned. However, it is not free ($2200/year). See https://www.redhat.com/apps/store/enterprise/gfs.html.

Also, it does not support OCR and voting disks--just database files and shared OH as documented in 329530.1.

Ok, I admit I don¢t know a lot about the subject, but isnt the linux clustering system gfs or something like that alsoe usable? And wouldn¢t that be a free filesystem?
