Brandon,
         Before the 3.1 releases, the users needed to manually write the 
volfile using the translators, for the releases >= 3.1 you dont need to 
edit anything. You just use the cli and you are done. features/locks is 
added by default on all bricks when a volume is created. You dont need 
to turn anything on for POSIX compliance or locks. They should work by 
default. Let us know if you face any problems with your setup.

Pranith.
