I believe it will work better than clvmd.  There is one main thing, unique
to using sanlock, that you should verify in your environment.
lvmlockd+sanlock is sensitive to spikes in i/o delays.  If sanlock sees
several consecutive large i/o delays (> 10 sec each), e.g. during heavy
use from applications, or during path switching, this can trigger spurious
failure detection.  (This is analogous to network delays when using
network-based solutions.)

(We can increase i/o timeouts to compensate if really necessary.)

I agree.
