Description of problem:
It would be very useful to include RedHat's recently acquired GFS and 
Oracle's OCFS and OCFSv2 in with the ES and AS distributions.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Didn't try

Comment 1 Colin Coe 2004-10-25 03:50:17 UTC
I should have also requested the option to use file systems other 
than ext[23] (i.e. reiserfs) at install time.

Comment 2 Suzanne Hillman 2004-10-25 16:05:21 UTC
Internal RFE bug #137053 entered; will be considered for future releases.

Comment 3 Colin Coe 2004-10-25 22:47:12 UTC
Please consider for EL4.  We should not have to go into single user 
mode and unmount /usr (for example) to grow the filesystem.  It is 
this lack of functionality that is preventing Linux being installed 
on critical systems.

A filesystem that can be grown on-line *is critical*.

RedHat is touting the aquirement of GFS.  Why not do something useful 
with it?  Does RedHat really what to make us use NFS instead?

Comment 4 dff 2004-10-27 19:50:11 UTC
GFS is available for purchase as a layered product for RHEL 3:

  http://www.redhat.com/software/rha/gfs/

Red Hat's policy is to support the ext3 filesystem in the core
product, and not reiserfs or OCFS.

Note that RHEL 4 will add support for on-line growing of ext3
filesystems in conjunction with Logical Volume Manager 2 -- built into
the base RHEL OS.
