I tried implementing OCFS on 2.4.20-18 and it gave me errors because the RPM package was branded to a specific kernel set (the enterprise level, AS set) supposedly there is a release ther now that can be loaded on the kernel provided on OTN but I haven't tried it. I ended up doing my work on RAW with firewire...but am looking forward to trying out my rig with 10G and OCFS...unfortunately on AS 2.1 (a big step backwards).
