DESCRIPTION

       ocfs2_hb_ctl starts and stops the heartbeat on a OCFS2 device.  Users are strongly urged not to use this tool directly. It is automatically
       invoked by mount.ocfs2 and other tools that require heartbeat notifications.

       The tools accepts devices to be specified by its name or its uuid. Service denotes the application that is requesting the heartbeat notifi-
       cation.

OPTIONS

       -S     Starts the heartbeat.

       -K     Stops the heartbeat.

       -I     Prints the heartbeat reference counts for that heartbeat region.

       -d     Specify region by device name.

       -u     Specify region by device uuid.

       -n     Adjust  IO  priority  for  the  heartbeat  thread. This option calls the ionice tool to set its IO scheduling class to realtime with
	      scheduling class data as provided.  This option is usable only with the O2CB cluster stack.

       -h     Displays help and exit.
