Steve's replies could have been worded better and Richard has spent a 
considerable time showing that OCFS2 will work with CTDB. The only 
problem that I can see is, whilst Richard used Centos and the Oracle 
kernel, neither of the two people who are having/have had problems with 
CTDB use this distro or kernel. If CTDB will only work with Centos and 
the Oracle kernel, then in my opinion, it has problems. The only way to 
prove this one way or the other, is for Richard to post his setup and 
for someone to try and set it up on Debian (other distros are available 
;-) ).
