[Linux-cluster] CMan Build Issue

[Jayson Vantuyl]

Eek.  This is probably worth investigating.  I'll let you know what I  
come up with.

This is particularly important for people who virtualize their  
clusters, as Xen doesn't run on anything newer than 2.6.18 yet (and  
that includes the forthcoming 3.0.5 release).

Out of curiosity, how does this figure into the kernel merge of DLM  
and GFS?  I've seen them in newer kernels but been kind of afraid to  
turn anything on.  Can I build the old cluster suite against a kernel  
containing DLM and still expect it to work?
