  1. OCFS2 filesystem
  2. ==================
  3. OCFS2 is a general purpose extent based shared disk cluster file
  4. system with many similarities to ext3. It supports 64 bit inode
  5. numbers, and has automatically extending metadata groups which may
  6. also make it attractive for non-clustered use.
  7. You'll want to install the ocfs2-tools package in order to at least
  8. get "mount.ocfs2" and "ocfs2_hb_ctl".

  22. Caveats
  23. =======
  24. Features which OCFS2 does not support yet:
  25. - extended attributes
  26. - quotas
  27. - cluster aware flock
  28. - cluster aware lockf
  29. - Directory change notification (F_NOTIFY)
  30. - Distributed Caching (F_SETLEASE/F_GETLEASE/break_lease)
  31. - POSIX ACLs
  32. - readpages / writepages (not user visible)
  33. Mount options
  34. =============
  35. OCFS2 supports the following mount options:
  36. (*) == default
  37. barrier=1 This enables/disables barriers. barrier=0 disables it,
  38. barrier=1 enables it.
  39. errors=remount-ro(*) Remount the filesystem read-only on an error.
  40. errors=panic Panic and halt the machine if an error occurs.
  41. intr (*) Allow signals to interrupt cluster operations.
  42. nointr Do not allow signals to interrupt cluster
  43. operations.
  44. atime_quantum=60(*) OCFS2 will not update atime unless this number
  45. of seconds has passed since the last update.
  46. Set to zero to always update atime.
  47. data=ordered (*) All data are forced directly out to the main file
  48. system prior to its metadata being committed to the
  49. journal.
  50. data=writeback Data ordering is not preserved, data may be written
  51. into the main file system after its metadata has been
  52. committed to the journal.
  53. preferred_slot=0(*) During mount, try to use this filesystem slot first. If
  54. it is in use by another node, the first empty one found
  55. will be chosen. Invalid values will be ignored.
