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".
