[Linux-cluster] relationship corosync + dlm + cman in cluster 3.1.3

[Jeroen Koekkoek]

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for answering my question. While looking at the current source tree, I noticed newer versions, at least dlm_controld, will not use cman anymore. So I'll keep using 3.0.12 for now (with dlm_controld.pcmk). Do you have any estimate on the first release without cman?

Regards,
Jeroen
