Description

The documentation at http://activemq.apache.org/shared-file-system-master-slave.html says that OCFS2 does not work, saying

"OCFS2 only supports locking with 'fcntl' and not 'lockf and flock', therefore mutex file locking from Java isn't supported."

However, based on my reading of the OpenJDK source, Java uses fcntl, not flock and this statement is incorrect.
