Very good and important point.  <I Added STONITH to my list>

The current lock manager invokes STOMITH which supports multiple nodes.

How do other dlm's do fencing?

I have not used STONITH from heartbeat, but I'm almost positive
heartbeat only invokes it for 2-node HA clusters, not for 3+ node non-HA
clusters.

I think stonith has a command-line invocation, so ogfs could invoke it
directly if required, but it seems like fencing is something that needs
to be handled prior to ogfs even knowing that a problem exists.
