OCFS2 is a *filesystem* - it does not allow you to 'share a drive'.
For OCFS2 to work, there must be an existing shared block device (e.g.
FC/iSCSI SAN, shared SCSI bus, DRBD 8 device) accessible by the nodes.
OCFS2 will not give you this but it will allow you to share a filesystem
that resides on it once you do.
