Responding to your post, but I guess it's really Oracle I'm asking:
On my first glance just now at the git-ocfs patch, I was surprised that what seemed to be separable facilities were combined into one patch. I see a file system, a lock manager (is that what DLM stands for - please spell out acronyms) and a configuration file system.
+configfs/ + - directory containing configfs documentation and example code. ... +dlmfs.txt + - info on the userspace interface to the OCFS2 DLM. ... +ocfs2.txt + - info and mount options for the OCFS2 clustered filesystem.
These combine to make a 45 thousand line patch. That's a big patch. Only the netdev and reiser4 patches (and the combined linus.patch) are bigger.
Shouldn't these be 3 patches, or more?
