> Lockfiles are not being created for datanode storage directories.  Due to a mixup, we are initializing the StorageDirectory class with shared=true (an option which was only intended for NFS directories used to implement NameNode HA).  Setting shared=true disables lockfile generation and prints a log message like this:
> {code}
> 2015-05-22 11:45:16,367 INFO  common.Storage (Storage.java:lock(675)) - Locking is disabled for /home/cmccabe/hadoop2/hadoop-hdfs-project/hadoop-hdfs/target/  test/data/dfs/data/data5/current/BP-122766180-127.0.0.1-1432320314834
> {code}
> Without lock files, we could accidentally spawn two datanode processes using the same directories without realizing it.
