OK, then performance is not an issue. I just took a quick look at the dlm code, and I think that code could be simplified with such generic service (which would be tested by a larger user base)? Anyways, I will try to write a prototype too see if it is useful. - Dietmar _______________________________________________ Openais mailing list Openais@lists.linux-foundation.org https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/openais
