Introduction ============ -OCFS2 is often used in high-availaibility systems. However, OCFS2 usually +OCFS2 is often used in high-availability systems. However, OCFS2 usually converts the filesystem to read-only when encounters an error. This may not be necessary, since turning the filesystem read-only would affect other running processes as well, decreasing availability. Then, a mount option (errors=continue) is introduced, which would return the --EIO errno to the calling process and terminate furhter processing so that the +-EIO errno to the calling process and terminate further processing so that the filesystem is not corrupted further.
