  Thanks for response so quickly.
  Huawei company use the ocfs2 in virtualization platform to store the virtual machine image file and snapshot file and vm config file.

Yes, Oracle use it in Oracle VM to store shared virtual machine images and configuration, as well as provide distributed lock management. It?s also possible to use it for shared Oracle RDBMS binary and data, as well as in our Middleware offerings for HA.

We did.

We used it for our Oracle DB running on RHEL

But since Oracle stopped upgrading it except for Oracle Linux, we migrated to ext4 (we didn't need the cluster feature, just wanted the direct i/o), but ext4 is working fine for us now.

Note that we didn?t stop upgrading it: it?s in the mainline kernel source. Red Hat actively remove OCFS2 from the kernel in their distribution (in favour of GFS2) and we just stopped providing external RPMs for OCFS2. In the case of Oracle Linux, we just don?t remove the OCFS2 code from mainline when building our own kernels.

Understood.

Besides the politics, is there a reason Oracle can't re-add the code to RHEL/SUSE as a rpm? Not having ocfs2 available is not going to lead us to use Oracle Linux, rather we are much more likely to use GFS or Veritas. We have a large implementation of HP hardware / RHEL, and have standard monitoring tools, scripts, etc to build / manage machines, and would be very unlikely to introduce another OS into the mix.

SUSE retains OCFS2 support in their kernel as they use it as part of their HA stack (with DRBD/Corosync/Pacemaker). At the moment, we have no plans to create OCFS2 RPMs for RHEL6/7, as there is no longer a business case for it: RDBMS (the initial primary Oracle consumer of OCFS2) has deprecated OCFS2 in favour of ASM/ACFS. The only remaining product within Oracle that uses OCFS2 extensively is Oracle VM.
