[linux-lvm] lvmlockd manpage: prevent concurrent activation of logical volumes?

Hi David,

I's afraid the statement below in description section of lvmlockd manpage:

"
· prevent concurrent activation of logical volumes
"

is easy for normal user to mistake it as: wow, lvmlockd doesn't support 
active-active
LV on multiple nodes?

What I interpret from it is:

with clvmd, 'vgchange/lvchange -ay' activates the LV on every node in a 
shot.
But with lvmlockd, one needs to perform:

- start the lockspace
vgchange --lockstart vg1

- vgchange -ay vg1
The LVs in vg1 will only be activated on this node.

Regards,
Eric
