Hi Jos,

Afaik, yes - these are the ancient history of clustersuite. Take a look
at the paper "Symmetric Cluster Architecture". This talks about the
evolution of locking in clustersuite, from the original DLOCK/DMEP
support, to a DLOCK/DMEP simulator (this went on to become GULM), and
finally to the distributed lock manager (DLM).

Although the paper is a couple of years old now, it covers this area
quite thoroughly.

Kind regards,

Bryn.
