Answer 1

Have you ever tried installing OCFS2 on OpenSuse before (My guess is that this is for yourself)? It's not supported by Oracle but it doesn't mean it won't work, but you could also be wasting your time trying it. I would install it on the OS version you had it working on before or one that it's known to work if you're going with open source Linux.
