+NFS_TICKLE_SHARED_DIRECTORY is where ctdb will store information about which
+clients have established tcp connections to the cluster. This information
+is used during failover of ip addresses.
+This allows the node that takes over an ip address to very quickly 'tickle' and reset any tcp connections for the ip address it took over.<br>
+The reason to do this is to improve the speed at which a client will detect
+that the tcp connection for NFS needs to be reestablished and to speed up
+recovery in the client.<br>
