Hello.
I have a SAN with an OCFS partition and is accessible by two servers. 
The file system itself does locking to prevent data corruption and 
ensure data reliability. I would like to have two ZEO servers serving 
the same DirectoryStorage/ZODB in an active-active setup. Using the 
default FileStorage means that the first server will lock out the second 
from the entire DB. Does DirectoryStorage lock the entire DB? or just 
the files it accesses as needed? I'm hoping the latter is true, because 
then we should be able to cluster ZEO servers. Thanks,
-Kevin
