I have been curious about OCFS for some time; it sounded like a case
where there could possibly be some useful semantic changes to
filesystem functionality, notably that:
- atime is pretty irrelevant;
- it might try to work with pretty fixed block sizes (8K, perhaps?)
rather than try to be efficient at handling tiny files
It sounds like it ought to be able to be a good fit.
Of course, with a big warning sticker of "what is required for Oracle
to work properly is implemented, anything more is not a guarantee" on
it, who's going to trust it?
