- Single node locking module for GFS2.

- Use this module if you want to use GFS2 on a single node without
- its clustering features. You can still take advantage of the
- large file support, and upgrade to running a full cluster later on
- if required.
-
- If you will only be using GFS2 in cluster mode, you do not need this
- module.
+ The "nolock" lock module is now built in to GFS2 by default. If
+ you want to use the DLM, be sure to enable HOTPLUG and IPv4/6
+ networking.
