I believe most (maybe even all modern?) deployments have both lib and
resource.d under /usr/lib/ocf. If you have a custom provider for the RA
under resource.d, it would make sense to use the same pattern under
lib.

If you want to follow the FHS, you might consider /usr/share if you're
installing via custom packages, /usr/local/share if you're just
installing locally, or /srv in either case.
