There are two dlm's in the linux kernel 1. linux/fs/dlm, used by gfs2 (and infrequently by ocfs2) 2. linux/fs/ocfs2/dlm, used by ocfs2 I don't know which the article refers to or what's meant by "unclear". I maintain 1 and would not call it unclear. You should use 2 with ocfs2; you could ask about it on the ocfs2 list.
