We need to have MySQL fail over and since we already have a low traffic LUN
set-up with Lustre that is shared and fault-tolerant we want to put the
database files on it instead of carving out another LUN for the low traffic
database. We are only going to access the files from one node at a time.

Any pitfalls I should know about if I enable locking on two nodes like large
performance degradation? I take it that the localflock is a client option
and the flock is an OST mount option?
