G'day Brian, |

I've played around with OCFS2 and AoE in combination with Xen and they |
| 4 |
seem to work alright. |

|
| 6 |
I did have to increase the hearbeat timout for OCFS2 because all the |
| 7 |
machines would think the SAN went offline when there was _heavy_ load. |
| 8 |
Works a treat now that the timeout has been increased though. |

Cheers, |
