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.
8 You'll want to install the ocfs2-tools package in order to at least
9 get "mount.ocfs2" and "ocfs2_hb_ctl".

30 Features which OCFS2 does not support yet:
32 - Directory change notification (F_NOTIFY)
33 - Distributed Caching (F_SETLEASE/F_GETLEASE/break_lease)
38 OCFS2 supports the following mount options:
41 barrier=1 This enables/disables barriers. barrier=0 disables it,
43 errors=remount-ro(*) Remount the filesystem read-only on an error.
44 errors=panic Panic and halt the machine if an error occurs.
45 intr (*) Allow signals to interrupt cluster operations.
46 nointr Do not allow signals to interrupt cluster
48 atime_quantum=60(*) OCFS2 will not update atime unless this number
49 of seconds has passed since the last update.
50 Set to zero to always update atime.
51 data=ordered (*) All data are forced directly out to the main file
52 system prior to its metadata being committed to the
54 data=writeback Data ordering is not preserved, data may be written
55 into the main file system after its metadata has been
56 committed to the journal.
57 preferred_slot=0(*) During mount, try to use this filesystem slot first. If
58 it is in use by another node, the first empty one found
59 will be chosen. Invalid values will be ignored.
60 commit=nrsec (*) Ocfs2 can be told to sync all its data and metadata
61 every 'nrsec' seconds. The default value is 5 seconds.
62 This means that if you lose your power, you will lose
63 as much as the latest 5 seconds of work (your
64 filesystem will not be damaged though, thanks to the
65 journaling). This default value (or any low value)
66 will hurt performance, but it's good for data-safety.
67 Setting it to 0 will have the same effect as leaving
68 it at the default (5 seconds).
69 Setting it to very large values will improve
71 localalloc=8(*) Allows custom localalloc size in MB. If the value is too
72 large, the fs will silently revert it to the default.
73 Localalloc is not enabled for local mounts.
74 localflocks This disables cluster aware flock.
75 inode64 Indicates that Ocfs2 is allowed to create inodes at
76 any location in the filesystem, including those which
77 will result in inode numbers occupying more than 32
79 user_xattr (*) Enables Extended User Attributes.
80 nouser_xattr Disables Extended User Attributes.
81 acl Enables POSIX Access Control Lists support.
82 noacl (*) Disables POSIX Access Control Lists support.
