There is kernel support, see
http://people.redhat.com/mpatocka/patches/kernel/all/series.html (the last
section, "Mikulas' clustering"). The patches are old, they may need
conflict resolving.
But there is no userspace support. So, if you set it up manually with
dmsetup and pass it a correct locking ID, it may work.
