gfs2.5: General updates and layout improvements
- Update the manpage to mention lvmlockd and don't mention gfs2_quota
or gfs_controld (both obsolete).
- Simplify the setup instructions and refer to distribution-specific
docs and support requirements.
- Rearrange the "See also" section for relevance and incorporate the
references from the setup section.

-GFS2 doesn't support \fBerrors=\fP\fIremount-ro\fR or \fBdata=\fP\fIjournal\fR.
-It is not possible to switch support for user and group quotas on and
-off independently of each other. Some of the error messages are rather
-cryptic, if you encounter one of these messages check firstly that gfs_controld
-is running and secondly that you have enough journals on the filesystem
-for the number of nodes in use.

.SH SETUP
-GFS2 clustering is driven by the dlm, which depends on dlm_controld to
-provide clustering from userspace. dlm_controld clustering is built on
-corosync cluster/group membership and messaging.
-
-Follow these steps to manually configure and run gfs2/dlm/corosync.
-
-.B 1. create /etc/corosync/corosync.conf and copy to all nodes
-
-In this sample, replace cluster_name and IP addresses, and add nodes as
-needed. If using only two nodes, uncomment the two_node line.
-See corosync.conf(5) for more information.

+GFS2 clustering is driven by the dlm, which depends on dlm_controld to provide
+clustering from userspace. dlm_controld clustering is built on corosync
+cluster/group membership and messaging. GFS2 also requires clustered lvm which
+is provided by lvmlockd or, previously, clvmd. Refer to the documentation for
+each of these components and ensure that they are configured before setting up
+a GFS2 filesystem. Also refer to your distribution's documentation for any
+specific support requirements.

-To use no fencing, but exercise fencing functions, use this line:
-
-.nf
-fence_all /bin/true
-.fi
-
-The "true" binary will be executed for all nodes and will succeed (exit 0)
-immediately.
-

-To use manual fencing, use this line:
-
-.nf
-fence_all /bin/false
-.fi
-
-The "false" binary will be executed for all nodes and will fail (exit 1)
-immediately.
-
-When a node fails, manually run: dlm_tool fence_ack <nodeid>

-To use stonith/pacemaker for fencing, use this line:

-The "dlm_stonith" binary will be executed for all nodes. If
-stonith/pacemaker systems are not available, dlm_stonith will fail and
