I'm considering using the explicit lease variant of libvirt+sanlock (ie,
lease config defined in the domain XML), with the leases maintained on a
shared block device as I wish to avoid the need for a shared filesystem.

I'm under the impression this is the same configuration RHEV/oVirt uses;
would you have any reservations using this locking style outside of those settings?

Thanks,
