Hmm, that all looks a lot more involved than I had first imagined. It might
be a while before I or anyone on my team has the cycles to get a proper test
going :/

But ignoring manpower issues for a second.. What sort of tests do you think
would help to "validate" ocfs2 + clustered samba as a usable setup? I'm
thinking some sort of coherency verification against two clients mounted on
two seperate nodes at the least. Is there a particular test suite you all
run on this stuff?
