	How are we on the wrong mailing list?  This is the list about

	The thread is about ocfs2.  The poster may have been talking
about ocfs, but I wanted to clarify because either 1) he meant 'ocfs2'
and I want to understand what isn't POSIX, or 2) he meant 'ocfs' and he
may confuse people who are reading for info about ocfs2.
