clvmd picks up on volumegroups belonging to the other cluster.
I was under the understanding that clvmd communicated through ccsd 
libraries with other cluster members and
should never pick up any clustered volume groups outside the cluster.

Yet this is what we are seeing.

Nope, both clusters have quorum, one is a 5 node cluster with one node 
down.
The other is a 3-node cluster with no nodes down.

How do I check for clvmd lockspace ? Is there a utility or proc / sys 
entry where I can find out the clvm lockspace ?
