I believe this page has a few problems, in that it doesn't actually explain any of the issues in distributed locking (nor refer to any pages that do); it gives no indication of the difference between a distributed lock manager and a simple lock daemon such as is used for NFS; and gives no implementation details or theory at all.

What about IBM Coupling Facilities?

The page references DEC and Linux lock managers, but not IBM's Coupling Facility (CF) processors (as used for clustering IBM z/OS operating system images) or even Sperry Univac's Record Lock Processors (RLPs). 122.49.200.122 (talk) 12:17, 1 October 2011 (UTC) Adze[reply]

These are not distributed "lock managers", although they aid distributed computing (i.e. processing is parallel, but lock managers are not). --Kubanczyk (talk) 21:56, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
