Hi Valdis --
Thanks for your reply!
Per the discussion at: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/12/22/369 your suggestion of the common subdirectory will definitely need to happen before ramster can be promoted out of staging and, at GregKH's request, I have added a TODO file in V3 to state that. Before that can happen, we'll need to work with the ocfs2 maintainers to merge the necessary ramster-specific changes and implement a separately CONFIG-able subdirectory for the ocfs2 cluster code.
Dan
