No, it's not. :-)   OCFS2 is a POSIX compliant filesystem, OCFS isn't.

http://oss.oracle.com/projects/ocfs/

# Note: OCFS is not intended to be a POSIX compliant file system, there are no

# inside ocfs. We try when possible and where possible to stick to standard
# behaviour with error messages, e.g. ENOSPACE, etc. However, at the minimum,
# what is required for Oracle to work properly is implemented, anything more
# is not a guarantee.
