Sorry, I thought only the newer OCFS v2 for the 2.6 kernel was open-
source.  With OCFS v2 and GFS in the mix, things are heating up in the
shared SAN filesystem arena.  Is there a Red Hat matrix of why GFS is
better than OCFS v2?  :)  I believe SUSE is integrating OCFS v2 into a
SLES 9 service pack in the near future.

What is Red Hat's stance of OCFS v2. vs. GFS?
