+	help
+	  OCFS2 includes a simple kernelspace clustering package, the OCFS2
+	  Cluster Base.  It only requires a very small userspace component
+	  to configure it. This comes with the standard ocfs2-tools package.
+	  O2CB is limited to maintaining a cluster for OCFS2 file systems.
+	  It cannot manage any other cluster applications.
+
+	  It is always safe to say Y here, as the clustering method is
+	  run-time selectable.

+config OCFS2_FS_USERSPACE_CLUSTER

+	  This option will allow OCFS2 to use userspace clustering services
+	  in conjunction with the DLM in fs/dlm.  If you are using a
+	  userspace cluster manager, say Y here.
+
+	  It is safe to say Y, as the clustering method is run-time
