re: [SSI] File Locking

[Greg F. <freemyer@NorcrossGroup.com>]

Even if CFS is going to have its own internal file locking, OpenGFS does not.

My impression is that DLM will be used when OpenGFS is used.

So even if it is latter decided to use native CFS locking for CFS filesystems =
and DLM for OpenGFS, you will not have wasted any effort.
