We need to make this easier. It's planned that mkfs.ocfs2, mount, umount
et cetera get modified to hook into the cluster tools as well, so that
the admin can just issue the commands he is used to; the plan would be
that they automatically create the required CIB snippets to do that.

I also like this separation of concerns, but the integration isn't
perfect yet: we still need to improve the interface. Right now, it's
always exec'ing resource agents, and this is too costly...

Jeff and Andrew are working on merging them upstream.

As all our code is open source, you can of course just grab them from
our packages, as well.
