OCFS2 project from Oracle

OCFS2 is the next generation of the Oracle Cluster File System for Linux. It is an extent based, POSIX compliant file system. Unlike the previous release (OCFS), OCFS2 is a general-purpose file system that can be used for shared Oracle home installations making management of Oracle Real Application Cluster (RAC) installations even easier. Among the new features and benefits are:

• Node and architecture local files using Context Dependent Symbolic Links (CDSL)
• Network based pluggable DLM
• Improved journaling / node recovery using the Linux Kernel "JBD" subsystem
• Improved performance of meta-data operations (space allocation, locking, etc).
• Improved data caching / locking (for files such as oracle binaries, libraries, etc)

OCFS2 will only work on the 2.6 series of the Linux kernel. As a result, OCFS2 packages are only available for 2.6 based distributions.

New in Blog

Today i started my blog. I was inspired while i was browsing gaurav blog.I was priviously thinking that i should have my own website.I started with geocities free webhosting service but after sometimes i feeled that it is very time consuming task to post any comments on that site. So i decided to go for google blog.
Still i should have my own website where i can control each and everything. So what i need for that? One domain name, one good CMS,and little bit html knowledge... CMS should be open source. I decided to go for Drupal.And for hosting still i have to decide. Well my website should have more GNU/Linux related information that whoever will visit my site,they should able to learn something related to open source and GNU/Linux.This blog will not carry my daily activity generally.But sometimes it might be.My goal for creating this blog is to share my knowledge whatever i learned and will learn every day.finally i would like to say

It is very necessary to realize now that "Linux" is only a good monolithic kernel.It is one of the important subsystem of a whole GNU Operating System. We should not call "Linux" as a Operating System.
