I read from this patch that heartbeat=local is needed if you want to use ocfs2 
as local filesystem. That's the reason why heartbeat is set to be local. But 
that implies not to being able to share this filesystem with more nodes.

But when you want to use it concurrently you must not use heartbeat=local.

Or did I read something wrong?
